1. Safety at the workplace
a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Disorder or unlit workplaces may result in
accidents.
b) Never use the tool in hazardous areas that contain ammable liquids, gases or
dusts. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other persons away when using the power tool. You can lose
control of the tool if you are distracted.
2. Electrical Safety
a) The tool plug must t into the socket. The plug may not be modi ed in any form.
Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed tools. Unmodi ed
plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements,
stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if your body is
earthed.
c) Keep the equipment away from rain and moisture. The risk of an electric shock
increases if water penetrates electrical equipment.
d) Do not misuse the mains lead by carrying the tool by the lead, hanging it from
the lead or by pulling on the lead to remove the plug. Keep the lead away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or twisted leads increase the
risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work outdoors with a power tool, only use extension cables suitable for
outdoor use. The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces the risk
of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the tool in a damp environment, use a residual current
operated circuit-breaker. Using a residual current operated circuit-breaker avoids the
risk of electric shock.
3. Safety of Persons
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with a
power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the in uence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. Just a moment of inattentiveness while using the tool can lead
to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm
or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
