2-1.Work Area Safety
1-Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2-Do not operate equipment in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Equipment can create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
3-Keep children and by-standers away while operating equipment. Distractions can cause

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
2-Do not expose equipment to rain or wet conditions. Water entering equipment will
increase the risk of electrical shock.
2-3.Personal Safety

equipment. Do not use equipment while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating equipment may result

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3-Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
