3.1.2 Personal safety

■
Be alert, pay attention to
what you are doing and take
a cautious approach to
working with a power tool.
Do not use a power tool if
you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol
or medicines. A moment's in-
attentiveness when using the
power tool can result in seri-
ous injury.
■
Wear personal protective
equipment, and always use
safety goggles. The injury
risk can be reduced by wear-
ing personal protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask,
non-slip safety shoes, long
trousers, a protective helmet
or ear defenders, depending
on the type and application of
the power tool.
■
Avoid starting to operate
the machine inadvertently.
Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or
rechargeable battery, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool.
Accidents can be caused by
leaving your finger on the
switch when you carry the
power tool or when you con-
nect it to the power supply.

■
Remove the adjusting tools
or spanner before you
switch on the power tool. A
tool or spanner that is in a ro-
tating part of the machine can
cause injury.
■
Avoid an abnormal bodily
posture. Make sure you can
stand safely and keep your
balance at all times. This will
enable you to control the
power tool better if something
unexpected happens.
■
Wear suitable clothing. Do
not wear baggy clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothes and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair
can be snagged on moving
parts.
3.1.3 Use and handling of the
electrical tool
■
Do not overload the power
tool. Use the appropriate
power tool for the job you
are doing. Using the appro-
priate power tool will enable
you to work more effectively
and safely in the specified
performance range.
■
Do not use a power tool if it
has a defective switch. A
power tool that can no longer
be switched on or off is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
