1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. The connection may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders
away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. 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.
b. Do not expose the tool to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
c. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or disconnecting the
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a tool. Do not
use a tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating a
tool may result in serious personal injury.
b. 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.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
d. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from electrical parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in parts.
e. 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.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool
or these instructions to operate the tool. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
b. Maintain tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
