Introduction / General safety advice for electrical power tools
Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment
of the vibration loads experienced during a particu-
lar period of working, you should also take into
account the intervening periods of time when the
device is switched off or is running but is not actual-
ly in use. This can result in a much lower vibration
load over the whole of the period of working.

well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas
can lead to accidents.

which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c) Keep children and other people away
while you are operating the electrical
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con-
trol of the device.
