SAFETY & WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
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
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase 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 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 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 the battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
d)
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
