or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8. 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.
9.
If operating a power in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
Personal Safety
10.
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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
14.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
15.
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.
16.
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.
