1.  Work area safety

a)  

Keep work area clean and well lit.

 Cluttered 

or 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.

2.  Electrical safety

a)  

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.

b)  

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.

c)  

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 
conditions.

 Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.

d)  

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.

e) 

 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.

f)  

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

a)  

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.

b)  

Use personal protective equipment. Always 
wear eye protection.

 Protective equipment such 

as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat 
or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.

c)  

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.

d)  

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.

e)  

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

 This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f)  

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

 Loose clothes, jewellery or 

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g)  

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

 Use 

of dust collection can reduce dust-related 
hazards.

h)  

Do not let familiarity gained from frequent 
use of tools allow you to become complacent 
and ignore tool safety principles.

 A careless 

action can cause severe injury within a fraction 
of a second.
