e)
When using power tools outdoors, use an extension lead that is suitable for
this purpose.
The use of an extension lead designed for outdoor use decreases
the risk of electric shocks.
f) If for some reason you must use a power tool in a wet environment, always
connect it to the mains via an earth-fault circuit breaker such as an RCD
(residual current device).
Using an RCD significantly reduces the chances of you
receiving an electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Pay attention to your actions and use common sense when using power tools.
Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication.
One moment of inattention while using a power tool may result
in serious injury.
b) Use protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using protective
clothing such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders
when needed decreases the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that the power switch is set to OFF before
plugging the tool into a wall socket.
Never carry a power tool with your finger
on the trigger and never connect the power tool to a wall socket when the
switch is set to ON, since it may result in injury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the power tool. A service
tool left on 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 will allow
you to have more control in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable attire. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose-fitting clothes,
jewellery or long hair could potentially become caught in any moving parts.
g) If equipment for dust extraction or collection is available, make sure that it is
connected and used properly.
Use of dust collection equipment can reduce
dust related hazards.
4. Use and maintenance of the power tool
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 if used at the rate for
which it was designed.
