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 inuence 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

unexpected situations.

parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
