Electrical Safety (Where Applicable)
!
ELECTRICITY CAN KILL - NEVER WORK ON LIVE/ENERGISED EQUIPMENT.
DANGER!
• Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST identify electrical isolation methods and
isolate all electrical supplies.
• Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you MUST check all electrical cables, plugs
and connectors for the following;
- Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but not limited to bare wires, chaffing, cuts
and loose wiring.
- If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item MUST be taken out of service until the
damage has been repaired by an electrically competent person.
- All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any kind of trip hazard.
- NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet clothing and wet gloves.
• If the cable is damaged during use, it must be disconnected from the mains supply
immediately. Do not touch the cable until it has been disconnected from the mains. Do not
connect a damaged cable to the power supply and do not touch a damaged cable before
disconnecting it from the power supply, as damaged cables can lead to contact with active parts.
• Appliances used at many different locations including wet room and open air must be
connected via a residual current device (FI, RCD, PRCD) of 30mA or less.
• Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency
complying with current regulations.
• Keep the connection and extension cables away from dangerous moving parts to avoid
damaging them.
• Only use splash proof extension cables approved for outdoor purposes.
• Make sure the machine is switched off before plugging in.
• Do not overload the device. Use the appropriate electrical tool for the job in hand.
• The plug of the electrical tool must fit into the socket. The plug may not be modified in any way.
Do not use an adapter plug in conjunction with a grounded electrical tool. Unmodified plugs and
the appropriate sockets will reduce the risk of an electrical shock.
• Keep the electrical tools away from rain or damp. Water entering into an electrical device will
increase the risk of an electrical shock.
• Arrange the connecting cable in such a way that it cannot be caught by branches or similar
when cutting.
