The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool .
1 . Work area safety
a)
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents .
b)
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools cre-
ate 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 ground-
ed 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 entan-
gled 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 residual current device
(RCD) 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 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 a dust mask, 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 ac-
cidents .
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 and clothing away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts .
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards .
h)
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction
of a second .
