fy the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ran-
ges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools
to rain or wet conditions. Wa-
ter entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Ne-
ver use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power
tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in
a damp location is unavoida-
ble, use a residual current de-
vice (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
g) Do not cut a power cord
with the machine.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you
6
are doing and use common
sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating
power tools may result in se-
rious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional star-
ting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before con-
necting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging
in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key
or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may re-
sult in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not
wear loose clothing or jewe-
llery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
