SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Electrical safety
1.  Power tool plugs must match the outlet. 
Never modify the plug in any way. 
Do not use any adapter plugs 
with grounded power tools. 
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets 
will reduce risk of electric shock.
2.  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.
3.  Do not expose power tools to rain or wet 
conditions. Water entering a power tool 
will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.  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.
5.  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.
6.  If operating a power tool in a damp 
location is unavoidable, use a 
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter 
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI 
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 serious personal injury.
2.  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.
3.  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 
switch is in the off-position before 
connecting to power source, picking up or 
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with 
your finger on the switch or energizing power 
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4.  Remove any adjusting key or wrench 
before turning the power tool on. 
A wrench or a key left attached to 
a rotating part of the power tool 
may result in personal injury.
5.  Do not overreach. Keep proper 
footing and balance at all times. 
This enables better control of the power 
tool in unexpected situations.
6.  Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing 
and gloves away from moving parts. 
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair 
can be caught in moving parts.
7.  If devices are provided for the connection 
of dust extraction and collection 
facilities, ensure these are connected 
and properly used. Use of these devices 
can reduce dust-related hazards.
8.  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.
