d) Do not misuse the supply cord by carrying the tool by the cord, hanging it
from the cord or by pulling on the cord to remove the plug. Keep the supply
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts.
Damaged or
twisted leads increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work outdoors with a power tool, only use extension cables suitable
for outdoor use.
The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces
the risk of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the tool in a damp environment, use a suitable
ALCI/GFCI residual current operated circuit-breaker. Using a residual current
operated circuit-breaker avoids the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with
a power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a moment of inattentiveness while using the
tool can lead to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety
helmet or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of
injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off
before you connect it to the power supply, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can
occur if you carry the power tool while your finger is on the switch or if you connect
the power tool to the power supply while switch is on.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool.
A tool
or wrench that is in a rotating tool part can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are standing securely and have your
balance at all times. This ensures that you can control the tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) This power tool can be used by persons over the age of 14 as well as by
people with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities or who have
little experience or knowledge about it, providing they are supervised or
instructed on how to use the power tool safely and what risks are involved.
Children shall not play with the power tool.
