1. Your working area
a) Keep your working area clean and
clutter-free. Untidy or poorly lit working
areas can lead to accidents.
b)
Do not work with the device
in potentially explosive
environments in which there
are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts.
Electrical power tools create sparks, which can
ignite dusts or fumes.
c)
Keep children and other
people away while you are
operating the electrical tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of
the device.
2. Electrical safety
a) The mains plug on the device must
match the mains socket. The mains
plug must not be modified in any
way. Do not use an adapter plug
with devices fitted with a protective
earth. Unmodified mains plugs and matching
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c)
Keep the device away from
rain or moisture. Water enter-
ing 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 de-
vice or to pull the mains plug out of
the mains socket. Keep the mains
lead away from heat, oil, sharp edg-
es or moving parts of the device. Dam-
aged or tangled mains leads increase the risk
of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Children or persons who lack the knowledge
or experience to use the device or whose phys-
ical, sensory or intellectual capacities are limited
must never be allowed to use the device with-
out supervision or instruction by a person re-
sponsible for their safety. Children must never
be allowed to play with the device.
b) 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.
c)
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.
d) Avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Make sure that the switch is
in the “OFF” position before you in-
sert the mains plug into the socket.
Accidents can happen if you have been carry-
ing the device with your finger on the switch or
you have already switched the device on be-
fore you connect it to the mains.
e) 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.
f) Do not overestimate your own abili-
ties. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. By doing this you will be
in a better position to control the device, espe-
cially in unforeseen circumstances.
g) 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.
