CAUTION: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN

WORK ENVIRONMENT
1. Keep the work area clean, tidy and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
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 personal injury.
2. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
3. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
4. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
5. Gloves, manufactured to the current UK & European safety standards
should be worn.
6. Eye protection manufactured to the current UK & European safety
standards should be worn when operating rotating equipment. Eye
protection must provide protection from flying particles from the front and
the side.

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
11. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. NEVER modify the plug in any way.
DO NOT use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Correct
plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. DO NOT abuse the cable. NEVER use it for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric
shock.
3. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. If operating the power
tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.
