Electrical safety

1. 

power tool plugs must match the outlet.  
never modify the plug in any way.  
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded 
power tools.

  Unmodified plugs and matching 

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. 

avoid body contact with grounded surfaces 
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and 
refrigerators. 

 

There is an increased risk of 

electric shock if your body is grounded.

3. 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 
conditions.

  Water entering a power tool 

will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. 

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.

5. 

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.

6. 

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

1. 

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.

2. 

use personal protective equipment.  
always wear eye protection.

  Safety 

equipment 

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, 

hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate 
conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. 

prevent unintentional starting. 
Ensure the trigger is in the off-position before 
connecting to power source, picking up or 
carrying the tool.

   

Carrying power tools with your finger on 
the Trigger or energizing power tools that 

have the Trigger on invites accidents.

4. 

Do not overreach.  Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times.

  This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

5. 

Dress properly.  Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewelry.  Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 
away from moving parts.

  Loose clothes, jewelry 

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

6. 

if devices are provided for the connection of 
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure 
these are connected and properly used.

  

Use of 

these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

7. 

Only use safety equipment that has been 
approved by an appropriate standards agency.

  

Unapproved safety equipment may not provide 
adequate protection.  Eye protection must be 
ANSI-approved and breathing protection 
must be NIOSH-approved for the 
specific hazards in the work area.

power tool use and care

1. 

Do not force the power tool.  use the 
correct power tool for your application.

  

The correct power tool will do the job better and 

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

2. 

Do not use the power tool if the trigger  
does not turn it on and off.

  

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the 
Trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. 

Disconnect the plug from the power source 
before making any adjustments, changing 
accessories, or storing power tools.

  

Such preventive safety measures reduce the 
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. 

Store idle power tools out of the reach of 
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar 
with the power tool or these instructions 
to operate the power tool.

  Power tools are 

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. 

Maintain power tools.  check for misalignment 
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 
and any other condition that may affect the 
power tool’s operation.  if damaged, have the 
power tool repaired before use.

  Many accidents 

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

  Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
