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 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.

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 energizing power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

4.

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.

5.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6.

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.

7.

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.

8.

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.
