General safety advice for electrical power tools
MEANS OF A MAINS LEAD) AND ELECTRICAL
TOOLS POWERED BY RECHARGEABLE BATTER-
IES (WITHOUT A MAINS LEAD).

1. Workplace safety

a) Keep your working area clean and
well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.
b)
Do not work with the device
in potentially explosive envi-
ronments in which there are
inflammable liquids, gases or dusts.
Electrical power tools create sparks, which can
ignite dusts or fumes.
c)
Keep children and other peo-
ple away while you are op-
erating the electrical tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control of
the device.

2. Electrical safety

To avoid danger to life
from electric shock:
a) The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not
be modified in any way. Do not use
an adapter plug with devices fitted
with a protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from rain or
moisture. Water entering an electrical device
increases the risk of electric shock.
Do not use the mains lead for
d)
any purpose for which it was
not intended, e.g. to carry the
device, to hang up the device or to pull
the mains plug out of the mains socket.

Keep the mains lead away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the
device. Damaged or tangled mains leads in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an elec-
trical power tool always use extension
cables that are also approved for use
outdoors. The use of an extension cable suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) use a residual current device (rCD)
for protection if operating the electrical
power tool in a moist environment is
unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a) remain alert at all times, watch what
you are doing and always proceed
with caution. Do not use the device if
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One mo-
ment of carelessness when using the device
can lead to serious injury.
b)
Wear personal protective
equipment and always wear
safety glasses. The wearing of
personal protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or
ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec-
trical power tool used and work undertaken,
reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional operation of the
device. Check that the electrical power
tool is switched off before you connect
it to the mains, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can happen if you carry the device
with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with
the device switched on.
d) remove any setting tools or spanners
before you switch the device on. A tool
or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a
device can lead to injury.
e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat-
ural position. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. By doing this
