Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-
ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators,
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is 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 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.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable 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 residual current device
(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
