3) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock .
4)
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 .
5) 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 .
6) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock .
Personal safety
1) 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 .
2) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries .
3)
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 .
4) 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 .
5)
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations .
6) 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 .
