Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
„
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while
„
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to loose control.
Electrical safety
„
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
„
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any ad-
apter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will redu-
ce risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
„
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
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 and
moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
16
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.
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
Personal safety
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 un-
der the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating pow-
er tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
„
eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
„
is in the off-position before connecting to po-
wer source, 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.
