c) Keep power tools away from rain or moisture. Water penetrating into a power tool
increases the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not misuse the power cord to carry the power tool, hang up the power tool
or pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled power cords increase the risk
of an electric shock.
e) If you are working with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cords that
are suitable for the outdoor area. Using an extension cord that is suitable for the
outdoor area reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If the power tool must be used in a moist environment, use a ground fault
circuit interrupter. Using a residual current operated circuit-breaker avoids the risk
of electric shock.
3. Safety of Persons
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with a
power tool. Do not use the power tool if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of carelessness when using the power
tool may cause serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm
or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the power tool is switched off
before you connect it to the power tool and/or battery, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents may happen if you have your finger on the switch while carrying the power
tool or if the device is switched on when you connect it to the power supply.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool
or key in a rotating part of the power tool can cause injuries.
e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are standing securely and have your
balance at all times. This allows you can better control the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) Do not lull yourself into a false sense of security and do not think yourself above
the safety rules for electric tools, even if you are familiar with the electric tool
following extensive practical experience. Careless use can lead to serious injuries
in fractions of a second.
