3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to what you do and use common sense when using electrical hand
tools. Never use an electrical hand tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. One moment of not paying attention while using an electrical
hand tool may result in serious injury.
b) Use protective equipment. Always use safety glasses. Using protective equipment
such as a face mask, slip resistant protective shoes, a helmet and ear defenders
when needed decreases the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unexpected starts. Make sure that the switch is set to OFF before you
connect the device to the wall socket. Never carry an electrical hand tool with
one finger on the trigger or never connect the hand tool to a wall socket when
theswitch is set to ON, since it may result in injury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on the hand tool. A forgotten
service tool on a rotating part of the electrical hand tool may result in injury.
e) Do not overreach. Make sure you stand steady and well balanced at all times.
This gives better control in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewellery. Keep hair,
clothes and gloves away from movable parts. Loose fitting clothes, jewellery or
long hair could get caught in movable parts.
g) If the equipment for suctioning or collecting dust is available make sure it is connected
and used properly. Using technical aids may reduce dust related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of the electrical hand tool
a) Do not overload the hand tool. Use a hand tool suitable for the work you are to
perform. At the correct rate of feed, the correct tool will carry out the work better
and more safely.
b) Never use the electrical hand tool if the switch does not work properly to turn
on and shut off the tool. All electrical hand tools that cannot be operated by
theswitch are dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Unplug the lead from the wall socket before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the electrical hand tool away. These precautions reduce
therisk of the electrical hand tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store electrical hand tools that are not being used out of children’s reach. Do not
let people unfamiliar with the electrical hand tool or its instructions use it. Electrical
hand tools can be dangerous if they get into the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Maintenance of electrical hand tools. Check if something is incorrectly set, if movable
parts are getting jammed, or parts are broken or other reasons that might cause
the electrical hand tool to malfunction. If something is damaged it must be repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electrical hand tools.
