PERSONAL SAFETY
■
Use personal protective
equipment (PPE). Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal
injuries.
■
Dress appropriately. Do
not wear loose clothing or
jewellery, as these can be
caught in moving parts.
Preferably wear non-slip
footwear when working
outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to keep long
hair out of the way.
■
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.
■
Prevent unintentional
starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position
before connecting to
power source and/or
battery pack, picking

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
Power tool plugs must
match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric
shock.
■
Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric
shock if your body is
earthed or 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 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.
■
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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
■
Do not force the power tool.
Use the correct power tool
for your application. The
correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was
designed.
■
Do not use the power
tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be
repaired.
