GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES

Warning:
before using this equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs
in any earthed (grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the 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 grounded.
• 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 cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work. The
electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• 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. Air vents may cover moving parts and should
be avoided.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tool with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause an injury in an
unexpected situation.
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot safely control
the tool.
