1. General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Work area safety]
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Electrical Safety]
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Personal Safety].
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust masks,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising the power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of
a power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
