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 ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable Iiquids,
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. Dis-
tractions 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, ra-
diators, ranges and refrigerators. The-
re 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 elec-
tric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entan
opergled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord sui-
table 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 resi-
dual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock. Use a surge protector
with a release current of 30 mA or less.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
b)
Always wear eye protection. Protec-
tive equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropria te condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition 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 energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached 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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
f)
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing
parts..
