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
moving parts.
Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g Keep handles dry, clean and free from
oil and grease.
Slippery handles do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
h If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
