earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). If you are using a power tool in
extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity or generating metal dust), always use an RCD (residual
current device) at the power socket.

tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
When working out of doors: Only use extension leads designed for that purpose.
