c)
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool.
Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a)
Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b)
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts.
Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduc-
es the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A
moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Pro-
tective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c)
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool.
Carrying pow-
er tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
