The term "power tool" in the warninqs
refers to your mains-operated
(corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control
2) Electrical
safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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:
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable,
use a ground fault
circuit
interrupter
(GFCl) protected
supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock:
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a
power tool. Do not use a power too/wMle
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.
b) Use personal protective
equipment.
Always
wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust mask; non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) 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.
