clutter-free. Untidy or poorly lit working
areas can lead to accidents.
b) Do not work with t he device
in potentially exp losive
environments in wh ich there
are inflammab le liquids, gases or d usts.
Electrical power tools create sparks, which can
ignite dusts or fumes.

2. Elec trical safety
a) The mains plug on the devi ce must
match the mains soc ket. The mains
plug must not be modif ied in any
way. Do not use an adapter plug
with devices fitt ed with a protective
earth. Unmodified mains plugs and matching
sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

as pipes, radiator s, ovens and refrig-
erators with any pa rt of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from
rain or moisture. Water enter-
ing an electrical device increases
the risk of electric shock.

carry the device, to hang up the de -
vice or to pull the mai ns plug out of
the mains socket. Keep the m ains
lead away from heat, oil , sharp edg-
es or moving parts of the d evice. Dam-
aged or tangled mains leads increase the risk
of electric shock.

equipment and always wear
safety glasses. The wearing of
personal protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or
ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec-
trical power tool used and work undertaken,
reduces the risk of injury.
