3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to what you do and use common sense when using electrical hand
tools. Never use an electrical hand tool if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of not paying attention while using
an electrical hand tool may result in serious injury.
b) Use protective equipment. Always use safety glasses. Using protective
equipment such as a face mask, slip resistant protective shoes, a helmet and
ear defenders when needed decreases the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unexpected starts. Make sure that the switch is set to OFF before you
connect the device to the wall socket. Never carry an electrical hand tool with
one finger on the trigger or never connect the hand tool to a wall socket when
the switch is set to ON, since it may result in injury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the hand tool. A forgotten
service tool on a rotating part of the electrical hand tool may result in injury.
e) Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and well balanced at all times.
This gives better control in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose fitting clothes, jewellery or
long hair could get caught in moving parts.
g) If the equipment for suctioning or collecting dust is available make sure
it is connected and used properly. Using technical aids may reduce dust related
hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of the electrical hand tool
a) Do not overload the hand tool. Use a hand tool suitable for the work you are to
perform. At the correct rate of feed, the correct tool will carry out the work better
and more safely.
b) Never use the electrical hand tool if the switch does not work properly to turn on
and shut off the tool. All electrical hand tools that cannot be operated by
the switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the lead from the wall socket before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the electrical hand tool away. These precautions reduce
the risk of the electrical hand tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store electrical hand tools that are not being used out of children’s reach.
Do not let people unfamiliar with the electrical hand tool or its instructions use it.
Electrical hand tools can be dangerous if they get into the hands of inexperienced
users.
e) Inspect electrical hand tools regularly. Check that all settings are correct, that no
moving parts are getting jammed, that no parts are broken and for other reasons
that might cause the electrical hand tool to malfunction. If something is damaged
it must be repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
electrical hand tools.
