1.
Workplace safety
a)
Keep your working area clean and
clutter-free.
Untidy or poorly lit working
areas can lead to accidents.
b)
Do not work with the device
in potentially explosive envi-
ronments in which there are
inflammable liquids, gases or dusts.
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 fit-
ted 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 elec-
trical power tool always use extension
cables that are also approved for use
outdoors.
The use of an extension cable suit-
able 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 or safety helmets
appropriate to the type of electrical power tool
used and work undertaken, reduces the risk of
injury.
c)
Avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Check that the electrical pow-
er tool is switched off before you
connect it to the mains, pick it up or
