2 Electrical Safety
a Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and 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 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
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.
