•
Keep the tool away from rain and moisture/wet conditions.
Penetration of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an
electric shock. Do not use the cable to carry the tool, hang it up or
pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from sources
of heat, oil, sharp edges and moving tool parts. Damaged or
tangled cable increases the risk of an electric shock.
•
If you intend to use an electric tool outdoors, ensure that you only
use extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications. Using
extension cable that is approved for outdoor applications reduces
the risk of an electric shock.
•
If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be
avoided, use an earth leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-leakage
circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.
Personal safety
•
Be alert, work conscientiously and exercise appropriate caution
when using the electric tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired
or are under the influence of drugs/medication or alcohol. One
moment of carelessness or lack of attention when using the electric
tool can cause serious bodily injury!
•
Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-slip footwear, protective headgear and ear defenders
(depending upon the type of electric tool and the particular
application) reduces the risk of sustaining injury.
•
Make sure that the tool cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the
electric tool is switched off before you connect the tool to the
power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool.
Physically touching the switch with your finger when carrying the
tool or connecting the tool to the power supply switched on can
lead to accidents.
•
Remove adjusting tools/wrench(es) prior to switching on the power
tool. A tool or wrench that is positioned inside a rotating power
tool part can cause injury.
•
Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely
and keep your balance at all times. This way, you will be able to
have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
