2) Electrical safety
a. The electrical socket must match the
power tool's plug. The power tool's plug
must not be replaced or modi� ed. Do not
use an adapter plug for power tools with
an earthed plug. Using the power tool's
original plug and a matching electrical
socket reduces the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid physical contact with earthed
surfaces, such as water pipes, radiators,
ovens and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock when your
body is earthed.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain,
moisture or liquids. If liquid penetrates
the power tool, there is an increased risk
of electric shock.
d. Do not use the cord to carry or hang the
power tool up or to pull the plug out of
the electrical socket. Keep the cord at a
safe distance from heat sources, oil, sharp
edges and moving or rotating parts.
Damaged or tangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e. When working with the power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord that is
approved for outdoor use in order to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
f.
If it is not possible to avoid working
in damp environments, use a suitable
fault circuit-breaker to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a. Stay alert, consider what you are doing
and use common sense when working
with power tools. If you are tired, drowsy
or under the in� uence of alcohol,
medicines or drugs, do not work with
power tools. One moment of inattention
when working with a power tool can
result in serious injury.
b. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment and always use safety
glasses. The use of personal protective
equipment, such as dust masks, non-
slip safety shoes, safety helmets or ear
protectors, appropriate to the type of
power tool and its use, reduces the risk of
injury.
c. Avoid unintentional start-up. Make sure
that the power tool is turned off before
connecting it to the power supply,
picking it up or carrying it. If you have
your � nger on the on/off button while
carrying the power tool, or if you connect
the power tool to the power supply
when it is switched on, this can result in
accidents.
d. Remove any adjustment tool or wrench
before switching the power tool on. An
adjustment tool or wrench attached to a
rotating part can cause personal injury.
e. Avoid an abnormal work posture or work
position as you work. Stand on a stable
surface and maintain your balance at all
times so that you can better control the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose-� tting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose-� tting clothing,
jewellery or long hair can get caught in
moving parts.
