FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
c) Ensure the workplace is well ventilated. Exposure to dust
at a poorly ventilated workplace may result in damage to the
health.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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.
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) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
