matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
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 it is not possible to avoid using
the electrical tool in a damp
environment, use a residual current
circuit-breaker. The use of a residual
current circuit-breaker reduces the
risk of an electrical 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 influence 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
masks, 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 off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger 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 Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles
do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
h If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
