d.
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.
e.
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.
f.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
g.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
3.
Personal safety
a.
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.
b.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, 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.
d.
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.
e.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelers. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelers or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
4.
Power tool use and care
a.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
