c)
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power
tool
will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d)
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a)
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools
may
result in serious personal injury.
b)
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi-
tions will reduce personal injuries.
c)
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging
in.
Carrying power
tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools
that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a
key left attached to 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 enables better
control of the power
tool
in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g)
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards
.
4) Power tool use and care
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 at the rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power
tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
