Work Area Safety

Keep your work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

Do not operate equipment in explo-

sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-

ence of flammable liquids, gases or

dust. E quip ment can create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and by-standers a way

while operating equipment. Distrac-

tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Avoid body contact with earthed or

ground ed surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electri-

cal shock if your body is earthed or

while you are tired or under the influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while oper-

ating equipment may result in serious

personal injury.

ables better control of the power tool

in unexpected situations.
