d)
Do not abuse the mains lead. Never use the lead for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts.
Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
When using power tools outdoors, use an extension lead that is suitable for
this purpose.
The use of an extension lead designed for outdoor use decreases
the risk of electric shocks.
f)
If using the power tool in a wet environment is unavoidable, a wall socket
equipped with a portable residual current device (PRCD) should be used
.
Use of an RCD significantly reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a)
Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using
power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
One moment of inattention while using a power
tool may result in a serious injury.
b)
Wear protective clothing. Always wear safety glasses.
Using protective
clothing such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders
decreases the risk of injury.
c)
Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF
before plugging the power tool into a wall socket, fitting the battery or lifting/
carrying the power tool.
Carrying a power tool with your finger on the power
switch/trigger or connecting the power tool to a wall socket when the power
switch is set to ON is inviting an accident.
d)
Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the power tool.
A service
tool left on 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)
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery.
Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose-fitting clothes,
jewellery or long hair could become caught in moving parts.
g)
If equipment for the extraction and collection of dust is available, make sure
it is connected and used properly.
Use of dust collection equipment can reduce
dust related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of the power tool
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 if used at the rate for which
it was designed.
b)
Never use the power tool if the power switch does not switch the tool on
and off properly.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the power switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
