plugs with grounded power tools.
Unmodied plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded b.
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 c.
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use d.
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 out-e.
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp f.
location is unavoidable, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal safety3.
Stay alert, watch what you are do-a.
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use safety equipment. Always b.
wear ANSI-approved eye protec-
tion and full-face shield. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hear-
ing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
Prevent unintentional starting. c.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition before connecting to power
source, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or d.
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper e.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose f.
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.
If devices are provided for the con-g.
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care4.
Do not force the power tool. Use a.
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
