d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging

the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.

f) If operating a power tools 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
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 jewellery. 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 these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.

h) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause

personal injury

i) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an

operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
