General safety advice
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 increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an elec-
trical power tool always use extension
cables that are also approved for use
outdoors. 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 environment
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
power 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 spanners
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 un-
natural position. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. By doing this you will
be in a better position to control the device in
unforeseen 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.
b) Do not use an electrical power tool if
its switch is defective. An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket
before you make any adjustments to
t
he device, change accessories or whe
n
the device is put away. This precaution
is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.
d) When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone
use the device if he or she is not fa-
miliar with it or has not read the
