1 Safety of the work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate electric tools in explosive
atmospheres, for example in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools
create sparks that can ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating the tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control of the tool.
2 Electrical safety
a) The electric tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use adapters with earthed (grounded)
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid any body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the tool. Keep the cord away from heat,
lubricants, edges and moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When using a tool outside, use an extension
cable suitable for outside use. Use of a cord
suitable for outside use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If use of a tool in a humid location is
unavoidable, use a supply protected by a
residual current differential device (RCD). The
16
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 the
tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. One moment of carelessness while
using a tool can result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, a hard hat
and hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure
that the switch is in the off position before
plugging the tool into the mains and/or
fitting the batteries, picking it up or carrying
it. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch
or plugging in tools with the switch in the on
position is a cause of accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment key before
operating the tool. A key left attached to a
rotating part of the tool can result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep a proper position
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress in a suitable manner. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection equipment,
make sure that they are connected and used
correctly. Using dust collectors can reduce the
dust-related risks.
