refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are
doing, and use your common sense when
working with power tools. Never use
power tools if you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention when using a
power tool can result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear
safety glasses. Depending on the type of
tool and how it is used, safety equipment
such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes,
safety helmets and ear protection reduce
the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
power switch is in the OFF position before
plugging in the power cord and/or the
battery, or lifting/carrying the tool.
Carrying a power tool with your finger on
the switch, or connecting a tool to the
mains supply when the switch is in the ON
position, increases the risk of accidents
and injuries.
• Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before
starting the power tool. Spanners or the
like that are left in a rotating part of the
tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance. This will ensure
you have better control over the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
• Wear ear protection.
