3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
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.
Personal safety
1.
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.
2.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6.
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.
7.
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.
Power tool use and care
