5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and
follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term
"power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded)
power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1
Working area
▪
Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.
▪
Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the
presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
▪
Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control of it.
5.2
Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
▪
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
▪
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will
increase the risk of an electric shock.
▪
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
▪
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.
Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
▪
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected
by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.
5.3
Personal safety
▪
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious
personal injury.
