General safety advice for electrical power tools

Electrical power tools create sparks, which can 
ignite dusts or fumes.

c) 

 Keep children and other 
people away while you are 
operating the electrical tool.

 Distractions can cause you to lose control of 
the device.

2.

Electrical safety

   To avoid danger to life from 

electric shock:

a) 

 The mains plug on the device must match 
the mains socket. The plug must not 
be modified in any way. Do not use 
an adapter plug with devices fitted 
with a protective earth.

 Unmodified 

plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of 
electric shock.

b) 

 Avoid touching earthed surfaces such 
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body. 

There is an increased risk of electric shock if 
your body is earthed.

c) 

Keep the device away from 
rain or moisture.

 Water entering 

an electrical device increases the

 risk of electric shock. 

d) 

Do not use the mains lead for 
any purpose for which it was 
not intended, e.g. to carry the 

 device, to hang up the device or to pull 
the mains plug out of the mains socket. 
Keep the mains lead away from heat, 
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the 
device.

 Damaged or tangled mains leads  

increase the risk of electric shock.

e) 

 When working outdoors with an electri-
cal power tool always use extension ca-
bles that are also approved for use out-
doors.

 The use of an extension cable suitable for 

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) 

 Use a residual current device (RcD) 
for protection if operating the electri-
cal power tool in a moist environment 

is unavoidable.

 The use of an RCD reduces 

the risk of electric shock.

3.  Personal safety

a) 

 Remain alert at all times, watch what 
you are doing and always proceed 
with caution. Do not use the device if 
you are tired or under the influence 
of drugs, alcohol or medication.

 one 

moment of carelessness when using the device 
can lead to serious injury.

b) 

 Wear personal protective 
equipment and always wear 
safety glasses.

 The wearing of 

 personal protective equipment such as dust 
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or 
ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec-
trical power tool used and work undertaken, 
reduces the risk of injury.

c) 

 Avoid unintentional operation of the 
device. check that the electrical power 
tool is switched off before you connect 
it to the mains, pick it up or carry it. 

Accidents can happen if you carry the device 
with your finger on the on / oFF switch or with 
the device switched on.

d)   

Remove any setting tools or spanners 
before you switch the device on.

 A 

tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part 
of a device can lead to injury.

e)   

Avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing 
and balance at all times.

 By doing this 

you will be in a better position to control the 
device in unforeseen circumstances. 

f)

   Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear 

loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your 
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts. 

Loose clothing, jewellery or long 

hair can become trapped in moving parts.

g) 

 If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted do not forget to 
check that they are properly connected 
and correctly used.

 The use of these de-

vices reduces the hazard presented by dust.
