Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power

tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

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. Unmodi-

fied 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 influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-

cation. A moment of inattention white

operating power tools may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equip-

ment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. 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 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 pow-

er tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the pow-

er 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.

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
