b)
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators.
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 enter-
ing 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 operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a RCD (Residual Current De-
vice) protected supply.
Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric 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 influ
-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.
A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b)
Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appro-
priate 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 pow
-
er tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached 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)
If dust extraction and collection
devices can be installed, make
sure that these are connected
and used correctly.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related haz-
ards.
h) Do not allow yourself to be
lulled into a false sense of se-
curity and do not disregard the
safety rules for power tools,
even if you are familiar with the
power tool after using it many
times.
Careless action can lead to
serious injuries within a fraction of a
second.
