General safety advice for electrical power tools
2. Electrical safety
To avoid danger to
life from electric shock:
a)
The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Do not use
an adapter plug with devices fitted
with a protective earth.
Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c)
Keep the device away from rain or
moisture.
Water entering an electrical device
increases the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not use the mains lead for
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device.
Damaged or tangled mains leads
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an elec-
trical power tool always use extension
cables that are also approved for use
outdoors.
The use of an extension cable suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
Use a residual current device (rCD)
for protection if operating the electrical
power tool in a moist environment is
unavoidable.
The use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution. Do not use the device if
you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One
moment of carelessness when using the device
can lead to serious injury.
b)
Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear
safety glasses.
The wearing of
personal protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or
ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec-
trical power tool used and work undertaken,
reduces the risk of injury.
c) avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Check that the electrical pow-
er tool is switched off before you con-
nect it to the mains, pick it up or carry
it.
Accidents can happen if you carry the de-
vice with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or
with the device switched on.
d)
remove any setting tools or spanners
before you switch the device on.
A tool
or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a
device can lead to injury.
e)
avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
By doing this
you will be in a better position to control the
device in unforeseen circumstances.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection
devices are fitted do not forget to check
that they are properly connected and
correctly used.
The use of these devices re-
duces the hazard presented by dust.
4. Careful handling and use
of electrical power tools
a)
Do not overload the device. always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under-
taking.
By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.
