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.
3) 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 or under
the influence of drugs, 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 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 finger on the switch or

energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key
or 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 jewelry.
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
dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Power Tool Use And Care

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