ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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 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 a 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 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,
clothing and gloves 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 that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
