1. WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and 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.

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.
b) 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.
c) Prevent accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plugging
in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
