General safety advice for electrical power tools
b)Do not work with the device in potentially
explosive environments in which there are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical
power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes.
c)Keep children and other people away while
you are operating the electrical tool. Distrac- tions can cause you to lose control of the device.
2. Electrical safety
a)The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
b)Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radi- ators, ovens and refrigerators with any part 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 entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.
d)Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the de-
vice, to hang up the device or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e)When working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use extension cables that are also approved
