d) 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.

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
