Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools
.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
kitchen ranges and refrigerators
.
There is an increased risk of a lethal
electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
If water gets
inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts
.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a
lethal electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable
suitable for outdoor use
.
Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of a lethal electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD).
Using an
RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.
5.3
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication
.
A moment of
inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal
injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Using safety
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or
hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal
injury.
Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting the plug.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes
accidents more likely.
Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power
tool.
A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all
times.
This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool
.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.
