e) When working with a power tool outdoors, use only extension leads that are
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of an extension lead suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If the use of the power tool in a damp environment is unavoidable, use a
residual-current circuit breaker.
Use of a residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB with 10 mA maximum tripping
current) reduces the risk of an electric shock.
2.3 Safety of people
a) Always work carefully, attentively and sensibly when using a power tool. Do
not use the power tools if you are tired or are under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while using the power tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear goggles.
The wearing of personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety
shoes, helmet or ear protectors, depending on the type and application of the
power tools, reduces the risk of injuries.
c) Avoid accidental switching on of the power tool. Ensure that the power tool
is switched off before connecting it to the mains power supply and/or
connecting the battery and before picking up or carrying the tool.
If you have your finger on the switch when carrying the power tool or you connect
the tool to the power supply when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove the adjusting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool.
A tool or wrench in a rotating part of the power tool can result in injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal postures when working. Ensure you are standing firmly and
maintain your balance at all times.
This will enable you to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
g) If dust extractor and collection equipment can be mounted, they must be
connected and used correctly.
Use of a dust extraction system can reduce the hazards caused by dust.
h) Don’t be lulled into a false sense of safety and do not break the safety rules
for power tools even if, after much use, you are familiar with the power tool.
Careless action can cause severe injuries within fractions of a second.
