•
Keep your working area clean and well lit.
Untidiness or unlit working areas can lead to
accidents.
•
Do not use the tool in a potentially explosive environment where there are flammable
liquids, gases or dusts.
Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or vapours.
•
Keep children and other persons at a distance while you are using the power tool.
You
could lose control of the tool if you are distracted.
•
The plug on the power tool must fit in the socket. The plug must not be modified in
any way.
Do not use an adapter plug together with earthed power tools. Unmodified
plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
•
Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating systems, ovens and
fridges.
There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.
•
Keep power tools out of the rain and away from moisture.
Water penetrating into a
power tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
•
Do not misuse the cable by using it to carry the power tool or hang it up, or to pull the
plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts
of the tool.
Damaged or wound cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
•
Only use extension leads suitable for use outdoors when you are working with a power
tool outside.
Using an extension lead suitable for use outdoors reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
•
Use a residual current device (RCD) if it is not possible to avoid using the tool in a damp
environment.
The use of a residual current device reduces the risk of an electric shock.
•
Do not use the tool near combustible objects.
•
Be alert, pay attention to what you are doing and be sensible when you are working
with 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 inattentiveness when you are using the
power tool can lead to serious injuries.
•
Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety goggles.
Wearing
personal protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, a safety
helmet or ear defenders depending on the nature of the power tool and the use to
which it is to be put reduces the risk of injuries.
•
Do not allow it to run unintentionally. Make sure that the power tool is switched off
(on/off switch to ‘Off’) before you connect it to the power supply, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can be caused if you carry the power tool with your finger on the switch or
connect the tool to the power supply when it is switched on.
