GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or
fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris
such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded tools must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded outlet in
accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low-resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will only fit into a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the tool or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
“W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery, or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
