2) Electrical safety
a) Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap­
tor plugs with earthed (grounded) machines.
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 machines to rain or wet condi­
tions. Water entering a machine will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine.
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 machine 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 machine 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 machine.

Do not use a machine while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating machines may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, 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 OFF­position before connecting to power
source and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the machine.
Carrying machines with your finger on the switch or ener-
gising machines that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the machine on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
machines may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal­
ance at all times.
This enables better control of the machine 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) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
