General Safety Rules
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.
Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
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.
•
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) 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.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints;
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products;
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
