tors, cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c)
Do not expose power tools
to rain or wet conditions.
The
ingress of water into a power tool
will increase the risk of an electric
shock.
d)
Do not misuse the connect
ing cable by using it to carry
the power tool, to hang it up
or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the connect
ing cable away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled connect-
ing cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool
outdoors, use only extension
cords that have been designed
for outdoor use.
The use of an
extension cord suitable for the
outdoors will reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
f)
If it is not possible to avoid
using the power tool in a damp
environment, use a faultcurrent
circuitbreaker.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE: The term “residual current
device (RCD)” may be replaced
by the term “ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leak-
age circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
3) Safety of persons
a)
Be careful and ensure that you
pay attention to what you are
doing, and make sure you are
using the power tool sensibly.
Do not use a power tool if you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating a power tool may result
in serious personal injury.
b)
Use safety equipment. Always
wear goggles.
Wearing person-
al protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-slip safety
shoes, hard hat, or ear defenders,
according to the type of power
tool and the usage, will reduce the
risk of injuries.
c)
Avoid switching on accidental
ly. Ensure that the power tool
is switched off before connect
ing it to the power supply and/
or battery pack, picking it up or
carrying the device.
If you have
your finger on the switch when
moving the power tool or have
the power tool switched on when
connecting to the power supply,
this may lead to accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting keys or
wrenches before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may cause injury.
e)
Avoid unnatural body positions.
Ensure that you have a secure
stance and keep your balance
at all times.
