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 lose control.
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 medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
◾
Always use personal protective equipment. Personal protective equipment
such as eye protection, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat and/or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
◾
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to the battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
◾
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a moving part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
◾
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
◾
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
◾
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
◾
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
