b
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
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 reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f
If it is not possible to avoid using
the electrical tool in a damp
environment, use a residual current
circuit-breaker.
The use of a residual
current circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electrical 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 operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective
equipment such as dust masks, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power 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
attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal
injury.
e
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
