b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e. 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.
f. 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.
Personal safety
a. 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
orundertheinuenceofdrugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. 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 will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting:
Ensure that the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your nger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that

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.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g. If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
h. 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.
Power tool use and care

the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
