2. Electrical safety
To avoid danger to life from
electric shock:
a)
The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not be
modified in any way. Do not use an
adapter plug with devices fitted with a
protective earth.
Unmodified plugs and
matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b)
Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators
with any part of your body. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from
rain or moisture. Water entering
an electrical device increases the risk
of electric shock.
d)
Do not use the mains lead for
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.
Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device. Damaged or tangled mains leads in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an electri-
cal power tool always use extension ca-
bles that are also approved for use out-
doors. The use of an extension cable suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Use a residual current device (RCD)
for protection if operating the electri-
cal power tool in a moist environ-
ment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution. Do not use the device if
you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. One
moment of carelessness when using the device
can lead to serious injury.
b)
Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear
safety glasses. The wearing of
personal protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or
ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec-
trical power tool used and work undertaken,
reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Check that the electrical pow-
er tool is switched off before you
connect it to the mains, pick it up or
carry it. Accidents can happen if you carry
the device with your finger on the ON / OFF
switch or with the device switched on.
d) Remove any setting tools or span-
ners before you switch the device on.
A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating
part of a device can lead to injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. By doing this you will be in a
better position to control the device in unfore-
seen circumstances.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov-
ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long
hair can become trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuum dust extraction and collec-
tion devices are fitted do not forget to
check that they are properly connected
and correctly used. The use of these devices
reduces the hazard presented by dust.
4.Careful handling and use of
electrical power tools
a)Do not overload the device. Always
use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under-
taking. By using the right electrical power
tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.
