Work Area Safety
a )
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b )
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.
c )
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
d )
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.
e )
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.
f )
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
g )
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.
h )
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.
i )
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.
Note: The term “Residual Curent
Device (RCD)” can be replaced by “Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)” or by “Earth Leakage Circuit
Breaker (ELCB)”.
Personal Safety
j )
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.
k )
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.
l )
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.
