Electrical safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug
in
any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk
of
electric shock.
2.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of
electric shock
if
your
body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering
a power tool
will increase 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.
Safety 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, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch
or
energizing 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.
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 Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.
Use
of
a GFCI reduces the risk
of
electric shock.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or
long hair can be caught
in
moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use
of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Only use safety equipment that has been
approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and breathing protection
must be NIOSH-approved for the
specific hazards
in
the work area.
