Electrical safety
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
4) 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.
5) 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.
6) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
