Workplace safety :
a) Keep your workplace tidy and well lit. Untidiness and bad lighting
result in higher accident rate.
b) Do not use the power tool in explosive environments, created
by flammable liquids, gases or dusts.

sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the place
where the power tools are used.

grounding/earthing conductor (PE).
Any modifications of plugs
and outlets increase the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces or grounded items like
pipes, heaters, central heating radiators and refrigerators.
Touching earthed or grounded surfaces increases the risk of electric
shock.
c) Do not expose your power tool to rain or damp environments.
Water penetrating the tool increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not damage the power cord. Never use the power cord to
carry, pull the power tool and do not pull by its power cord to
disconnect plug from the outlet. Keep the power cord away
from sources of heat, oils, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When your power tool is operated outdoors use extension cords
intended for outdoor use only. Using an extension cable intended for
outdoor use decreases the risk of electric shock.
f) When it is unavoidable to use your power tool in a damp
environment use an RCD (Residual Current Device) for
protection.
The use of RCDs decreases the risk of electric shock.
a) This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including
children) disabled physically , mentally, sensorial or persons
with no experience and knowledge in operating the
equipment unless they operate the equipment under

responsible for their safety.
b) It is necessary to predict steps, watch and keep common
sense when using power tools. Do not operate power tools
when you are tired, under influence of drugs, medicine or
alcohol.
A moment of inattention while operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
c) Use personal protective equipment (PPE). Always wear safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) including a
dust mask, anti-slippery footwear, a helmet and ear protection reduces
personal injury.
d) Avoid unexpected start up. Before connecting your power
tool to the mains and/or inserting a battery make sure its
power switch is in off position.
Carrying your power tool with a
finger on its power switch or without disconnecting it from the mains
(switched on) may result in an accident.

Leaving a key/wrench in the rotating part of your power tool may result
in personal injury.
f) Do not lean forward too far. Always remain stable and
maintain balance.

power tool in unpredictable situations.
g) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothes or
jewelry. Keep your hair tied. Keep your clothes away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair may be caught by
moving parts.
h) If your power tool allows for using an external dust
extraction or collection system, make sure it is connected
and used properly. Using dust collectors may reduce dust
affected risks.
