b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements,
stoves and refrigerators.
The risk through electric shock increases if your body is
earthed.
c) Keep the equipment away from rain and moisture.
The risk of an electric shock
increases if water penetrates electrical equipment.
d) Do not misuse the mains lead by carrying the tool by the lead, hanging it from
the lead or by pulling on the lead to remove the plug. Keep the lead away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts.
Damaged or twisted leads increase the
risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work outdoors with a power tool, only use extension cables suitable for
outdoor use.
The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces the risk
of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the tool in a damp environment, use a residual current
operated circuit-breaker.
Using a residual current operated circuit-breaker avoids the
risk of electric shock.
3. Safety of Persons
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with a
power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
Just a moment of inattentiveness while using the tool can lead
to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles
Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm
or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off
before you connect it to the power supply, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can
occur if you carry the power tool while your finger is on the switch or if you connect the
power tool to the power supply which it is on.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool.
A tool
or wrench that is in a rotating tool part can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are standing securely and have your
balance at all times.
This ensures that you can control the tool better in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
