2.8 Electrical Safety
1. Avoid contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heaters, stoves,
and refrigerators.
When your body is grounded there is an increased risk of electrical shock.
2. Keep the tool away from rain and humidity
The penetration of water into a tool increases the risk of electrical shock.
3.
Keep the tool away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts
4.
Minimize the effects of ESD “Electro Static Discharge”
ESD can effect the performance of electronic components on the tool.
2.9 Personal Safety
1.
Always pay close attention and use caution when working with a
power tool. Do not operate power tools when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs,
alcohol or medications. Even one moment of carelessness
when operating the tool can result in serious injury.
2. Always wear personal protective gear and safety goggles.
Wearing
personal protective gear appropriate to the type of tool and the work being
performed, such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a safety helmet and ear
protection, minimizes the risk of injury.
3.
Avoid accidentally starting the tool. Make sure that the tool is switched off
before connecting it to the battery, picking it up or carrying it.
Carrying the tool with your finger on the power switch or
connecting to a
power source when it is switched on may result in accidents.
4. Maintain an ergonomic working posture. Stand firmly and always
maintain balance. By doing this,
you can control the tool better in unexpected
situations.
5.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long
hair can get caught in moving parts.
