■
If operating the 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
■
Remain alert, pay attention to 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 in
fl
uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
■
Wear personal protective equipment and always wear
safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat or hearing
protection, depending on how and where the power tool is used,
will reduce the risk of injuries.
■
Avoid accidental start-up. Ensure that the power tool is
switched off before connecting it to the power supply and /
or battery, picking up or carrying the power tool.
Carrying
power tools with your
fi
nger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
■
Remove any adjusting tools or wrenches before the power
tool is switched on.
A tool or wrench left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in injuries.
■
Avoid adopting an abnormal posture. Maintain a secure
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
■
Wear suitable clothing.
Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair may become entangled in
moving parts.
■
If dust extraction and collection equipment can be mounted,
it should be connected and used properly.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
■
Do not have a false sense of security and do not ignore the
safety rules for power tools even if you are familiar with the
power tool after using it many times.
Careless actions can
result in serious injuries in fractions of a second.
