GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WORK AREA SAFETY
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
-
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
-
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
-
Use of an GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
-
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
-
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
