mask whenever the operations may produce

be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
6 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
When using the tool under extreme conditions

by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI)
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.
