e. When you use an electrical hand tool outdoors; use an extension cord suitable
for this purpose. Use of an extension cord for outdoor use decreases the risk of
electrical shock.
f. If for some reason you must use a power tool in a wet environment, always
connect it to the mains via an earth-fault circuit breaker such as an RCD (residual
current device). Using an RCD significantly reduces the chances of you receiving
an electric shock.
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.
