GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WORK ENVIRONMENT

1. Keep the 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, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tools must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Any water entering

power tools will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Do not abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cord for pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk

of electric shock.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for

outdoor use. Using the correct cable reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when you

are operating a power tool. Do not operate a power tool when you are

tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.

2. Wear personal protective equipment including eye protection. Safety

equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid shoes or hearing protection used

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Use a face or dust

mask if operation is particularly dusty. Wear ear protectors/defenders as

the noise level of this machine can exceed 85dB (A). If working at floor

level, always wear knee pads.

CAUTION: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN

PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
