The use of
a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker will reduce the risk
of suffering an electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and be sensible and
responsible when using an electric power tool.
Never use the
power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. One moment of inattention when using the elec-
tric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safe-
ty goggles.
Wearing personal safety equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or ear muffs, depending
on the type and application of the tool, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the tool cannot start up accidentally.
Ensure
that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the
power supply and/or connect the battery pack, pick it up or carry
it. If you have your finger on the switch while carrying the power
tool or if you connect the power tool to the power supply while it
is switched on, this may cause accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches before you switch on
the power tool.
Any tool or wrench in a rotating part of the pow-
er tool could cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures.
Make sure you stand
squarely and keep your balance at all times. This will enable you
to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes.
Never wear loose fitting clothes or jewel-
lery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can be caught by moving parts.
g) If dust extraction devices and dust collection devices can be
fitted, they must be connected and must be used correctly.
The use of a dust extractor can reduce the dangers posed by
dust.
