Ensure that you have been properly trained to use the tool safely. Read the operator's manual before using the tool and operate the tool according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Use only tested and approved tools. Ensure that the power tool has the correct guard, shield or other attachment that the manufacturer recommends.
Prevent shocks. Ensure that the tools are properly grounded using a three-prong plug, are double-insulated and are labelled as such , or are powered by a low-voltage isolation transformer: this will protect users from an electrical shock. Check electric tools to ensure that a tool with a 3-prong plug has an approved 3-wire cord and is grounded.
The three-prong plug should be plugged in a properly grounded 3-pole outlet. If an adapter must be used to accommodate a two-hole receptacle, the adapter wire must be attached to a known, functioning ground.
NEVER remove the third, grounding prong from a plug. Wear or use personal protective equipment PPE or clothing that is appropriate for the work you are doing; this may include items such as safety glasses or goggles, or a face shield with safety glasses or goggles , hearing protection, dust mask, gloves, safety boots or shoes, or rubber boots.
Switch off the tools before connecting them to a power supply. If a power cord feels more than comfortably warm or if a tool is sparking, have it checked by an electrician or other qualified person. Disconnect the power supply before making adjustments or changing accessories. Remove any wrenches and adjusting tools before turning on a tool.
