b.
Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and re-
frigerators. 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.
Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d.
Do not use the cable for another
purpose, for example, carrying or
hanging the power tool or pulling
the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving device parts.
Damaged or coiled cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
e.
If you work with an electric tool
outdoors, only use extension
cables that are also 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 unavoidable, use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) pro-
tected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3.

Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of carelessness when us-
ing power tools can result in serious
injuries.
Wear personal protective equip-
ment and always safety goggles.
Protective equipment such as a
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
safety helmet or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source
and/or rechargeable battery, pick-
ing up or carrying the tool.
Carrying electric tools with your
finger on the switch or connecting
power tools to the power supply
when they are already switched on
invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting tools or
spanners/keys before turning the
power tool on.
A tool or spanner that is located in
a rotating device part may result in
injuries.
Avoid abnormal postures.
Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected sit-
uations.
