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. 

f)   If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, 

use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. 

Use of 

an RCD 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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye 

protection. 

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate 

conditions will reduce personal injuries. 

c)  Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the 

off-position before connecting to power source and/or 

battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. 

Carrying power 

tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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 and clothing away from moving parts.
