3.1.2 Personal safety

■
Be alert, pay attention to
what you are doing and take
a cautious approach to
working with a power tool.
Do not use a power tool if
you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol
or medicines. A moment's in-
attentiveness when using the
power tool can result in seri-
ous injury.
■
Wear personal protective
equipment, and always use
safety goggles. The injury
risk can be reduced by wear-
ing personal protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask,
non-slip shoes, a protective
helmet or ear defenders, de-
pending on the type and appli-
cation of the power tool.
■
Avoid starting to operate
the appliance inadvertently.
Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or
carrying the power tool. Ac-
cidents can be caused by
leaving your finger on the
switch when you carry the
power tool or when you con-
nect it to the power supply.

■
Remove the adjusting tools
or spanner before you
switch on the power tool. A
tool or spanner that is in a ro-
tating part of the power tool
can cause injury.
■
Avoid an abnormal bodily
posture. Make sure you can
stand safely and keep your
balance at all times. This will
enable you to control the pow-
er tool better if something un-
expected happens.
■
Wear suitable clothing. Do
not wear baggy clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can
be snagged on moving parts.
■
If dust extraction and catch-
ment devices can be mount-
ed, then these must be con-
nected and correctly used.
Using a dust extraction sys-
tem can reduce the risk
caused by dust.
■
Do not give yourself a false
sense of safety; do not ig-
nore the safety rules for
power tools even if you are
familiar with the power tool
after using it many times.
One careless action can lead
to serious injuries within sec-
onds.
