General safety advice for electrical power tools

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 suitable 

for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) 

 Use a residual current device (RCD) 
for protection if operating the electrical 
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 collection 
devices are fitted do not forget to check 
that they are properly connected and 
correctly used.

 The use of these devices re-

duces the hazard presented by dust.

4.

Careful handling and use of 
electrical power tools

a)

Do not overload the device. Always 
use an electrical power tool that is  
intended for the task you are under-
taking.

 By using the right electrical power 

tool for the job you will work more safely and 
achieve a better result. 

b)

Do not use an electrical power tool if 
its switch is defective.

 An electrical power 

tool that can no longer be switched on and off 
is dangerous and must be repaired. 

c)

Pull the mains plug out of the socket 
before you make any adjustments to 
the device, change accessories or when 
the device is put away. 

This precaution is 

intended to prevent you from unintentionally 
starting the device.
