2) ELECTRiCAL SAFETy
a) Power tool plugs must
match the outlet. never
modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (ground-
ed) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfac-
es, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges 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.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord.
never use the cord for carry-
ing, 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 extension
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 unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.

3) PERSOnAL SAFETy
a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the in-
fluence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inat-
tention white operating power
tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-
slip safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional start-
ing. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before con-
necting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Car-
rying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energis-
ing 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 bet-
ter control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and
