e) When working outdoors with an electrical
power tool, always use extension cords that
are also suitable for use outdoors.
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 re-
duces 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
accidents .
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.
The
use of an extraction system can reduce hazards
caused by dust .
h) Do not allow yourself to get lulled into a false
sense of security and do not ignore the safety
regulations for power tools, even if you are
familiar with the power tool after repeated
use.
A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second .
4 . Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed .
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired .
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove any removable battery packs
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the power tool.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally .
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users .
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired be-
fore use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools .
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control .
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation .
