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 switch 

is in the off-position before connecting to 

power source, picking up or carrying the tool.   

Carrying power tools with your finger on 

the switch or energizing power tools that 

have the switch 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 switch  

does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the 

switch 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.

7.  Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 

etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking 

into account the working conditions and the 

work to be performed.

  Use of the power tool 

for operations different from those intended 

could result in a hazardous situation.
