plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded
b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is 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 out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able 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
(gFcI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
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,
alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b.
Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
c.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool. Carry-
ing power tools with your finger on
the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
d.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
e.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
f.
Only use safety equipment that
has been approved by an appropri-
ate standards agency. Unapproved
safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection
must be ANSI-approved and breath-
ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-
proved for the specific hazards in the
work area.
