tool. Distractions 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, radiators, ranges and refri-
gerators. There 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 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 residual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply. Use of an RCD 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, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off-position
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 attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may res-
ult 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.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless ac-
tion can cause severe injury within a frac-
tion of a second.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
