ied 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 the 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.
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 inlu
-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation.
A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion.
Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
• 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 inger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the pow-
er 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, jew-
ellery 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 prop-
erly used.
Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
