2.1
WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
•
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.2
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed
(
grounded
)
power tools.Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions.Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging he power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
•
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.
•
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.
2.3
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
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 lapse of attention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
•
Use personal protection. Always wear eye protection.
Protective products such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used appropriately
will reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack and when picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
•
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.
•
Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
•
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust related hazards.
•
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
