5.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
6.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
III. Personal safety
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions reduces personal injuries.
3.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
O
-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
FF
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
4.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
5.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8.
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A
careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
