1) Work area safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas inviteaccidents.
b ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
c ) Ensure the workplace is well ventilated. Exposure
to dust at a poorly ventilated workplace may result in
damage to the health.
2) Electrical safety
a ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

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 ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpectedsituations.

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in movingparts.
4) Power tool use and care

tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
wasdesigned.
