b) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. 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 use 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 white operating
power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-slip 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 off-po-
sition 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 a 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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
