Electrical safety

 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify 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.
 Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suita-
ble for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when op-
erating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or un-
der the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
 Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Pro-
tective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
