• If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a power
point protected by a residual current device RDC. Using an RCD reduces the risk
of electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense
when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when
using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of
tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety
shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power tool is in the OFF position
before plugging in the cord and/or battery or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying
a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains
supply when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and
injuries.
• Remove adjuster keys/spanners and other assembling tools before starting the
power tool. Allen keys, or the like, left in a rotating part of a power tool can
cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will
ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be
connected and used correctly. The use of such equipment can reduce the risk of
dust-related problems.
Using and looking after power tools
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work.
The tool does the job better and safer when used at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch.
Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Unplug the power cord and/or remove the battery before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or putting the power tool away. These
