f)
If operating the power tool in a damp environment cannot be
avoided, use a RCD.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Safety of persons
a)
Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing and approach
work with a power tool in a reasonable manner. Do not use any
power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b)
Wear personal protective gear and always wear safety glasses.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c)
Avoid accidentally activating the device. Make sure that the
power tool is turned off before you connect it to the power
supply and/or the rechargeable battery, pick it up or carry it.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or connecting the
power tool to a power supply while the switch is set to “on” may lead
to accidents.
d)
Remove all adjusting tools or spanners before you switch the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e)
Avoid an abnormal posture. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f)
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If there is an option for installing dust suction devices and dust
containers, these should be attached and used correctly.
Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h)
Do not be lulled into a false sense of security and ignore the
safety rules for power tools, even if you are well acquainted with
power tools, having used them frequently.
Using power tools
without due care and attention can cause serious injuries in a split
second.
