POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WORK AREA

1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

2. 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.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. NEVER modify the plug in any way. DO

NOT use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. DO NOT abuse the cable. Never use it for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for

outdoor use. Use of a cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric

shock

5. If operating the power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected supply.

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 personal injury.

2. Use safety 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. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging

in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools

that have the switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove any wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench left attached to a

rotating part may result in personal injury.
