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. Always use the power tool in
conjunction with a residual circuit
breaker device. The use of a residual
circuit breaker device 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 safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in
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. The
use of these pieces of equipment
reduce hazards caused by dust.
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.
b. Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
