General power tool safety warnings
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of 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 while you are tired
or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the “o”
position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger
on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you
to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury in a fraction of a second.
