Electrical safety
1)
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.
2)
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.
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.
