SAFETY GUIDELINES
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools
. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
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.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
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.
•
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
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 power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
