1 Working zone safety
d) Keep the working zone clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas are prone to accidents.
e) Do not use power tools in explosive atmospheres, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dusts.
Electric tools create sparks which may cause dust or smoke to catch fire
f) Keep children and persons present away when using the tool. Distractions may cause you to lose control of the
tool.
2 Electrical safety
g) The electrical tool's plug must be adapted to the electricity socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapters with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and adapted sockets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
h)
A
void all physical contact with earthed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, cookers and fridges. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is connected to the earth.
i) Do not expose the tools to rain or damp conditions. Water entering the tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
j) Do not misuse the lead. Do not use the lead to carry, pull or disconnect the tool. Keep the lead away from heat,
lubricant, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase the risk of electric shock.
k) When using a tool outdoors, use an extension suitable for outdoor use. Using a lead suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
l) If you cannot avoid using a tool in a damp location, use a power supply protected by a residual current
differential(
R
CD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3 Personal safety
f) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use a tool when you are tired or are under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Failure to pay attention even for a moment when using the tool may
cause serious
injury.
