1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and
well lit. Cluttered or dark ar-
eas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power
tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the
presence of flammable
Iiquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and by-
standers away while op-
erating a power tool. Dis-
tractions 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 sur-
faces, such as pipes, ra-
diators, ranges and refrig-
erators. 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 condi-
tions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord.
Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or un-
plugging 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 ex-
tension 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 RCD
(Residual Current Device)
protected supply. Use of an
RCD 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 un-
