Electrical Safety
1.
P
ower 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.
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
C
ircuit Interrupter
(GF
C
I)
protected supply.
Use
of
a
GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
P
ersonal 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.
P
revent 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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This
enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
