Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• Do not operate equipment in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Equipment can create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away
while operating equipment. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi-
ators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose equipment to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering equip-
ment will increase the risk of electrical
shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating equipment. Do not use a
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while
operating equipment may result in se-
rious personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This en-
ables better control of the the equip-
ment in unexpected situations.
