3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to your actions and use common sense when using electrical hand
tools. Never use electrical hand tools if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention while using an
electrical hand tool may result in serious injury.
b) Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective clothing
such as face masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders when
needed decreases the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power 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 tools/keys before switching on the hand tool. A service tool left on
moving parts of the electrical hand tool may result in injury.
e) Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and have good balance at all
times. This will allow you to have more control 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 get caught in moving parts.
g) If the equipment for dust extraction or collection is available make sure that
it is connected and used properly. Using technical aids may decrease dust
related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of electrical hand tools
a) Do not force the electrical hand tool. Use an electrical hand tool suitable for
the work you are about to perform. The proper electrical hand tool will perform
the task better and safer if used at the correct feed rate.
b) Never use the electrical hand tool if the power switch does not switch the tool on
and off properly. All electrical hand tools that can not be controlled by the power
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. 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 allow people who are unfamiliar with the tool or its functions to operate
the tool. Electrical hand tools can be dangerous if they fall into the hands of
inexperienced users.
e) Maintaining electrical hand tools. Check for any incorrect settings, parts that
catch, broken parts or anything else which may 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.
f) Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp blades are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
