b. Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for
example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.
2. Electrical Safety
a. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
b. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
c. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if
your body is earthed.
d.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
If water gets
inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock.
e. Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
an electric shock.
f. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable
for outdoor use. using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
an electric shock.
g. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power
supply protected by a residual current device (RCD).
Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.
3. Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
