way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b
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.
c
Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions.
Water 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 it is not possible to avoid using the
electrical tool in a damp
environment, use a residual current
circuit-breaker.
The use of a residual
current circuit-breaker reduces the risk
of an electrical 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 masks, 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,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g
Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.
Slippery handles
do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
h
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of
these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
