SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep work area clean 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. 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.

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. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to the power supply.

4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
