Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.
„
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while
„
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to loose control.

Electrical safety

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.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
„
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
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
and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
470518_c
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
„
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock

Personal safety

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 medi-
cation.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
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.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
„
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source, 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.
