Power Tool Safety Warnings
_WARNINGt
Read all safety warnings
and instructions.
Failure to follow the
warnings
and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings
and instructions
for future
reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated
(corded)
power tool or battery-operated
(cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children
and bystanders
away while operating
a power 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 refrigerators.
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 outdoors,
use an extension
cord suitable
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 ground fault
circuit interrupter
(GFCl) protected
supply.
Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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) Prevent unintentional
starting.
Ensure 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 result 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,
clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
