There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
e) Do not expose appliances to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering an appliance
will increase the risk of electric shock.
f) Check the appliance's supply cord at
regular intervals and have it replaced at
a Hilti service center if damage is found.
Check extension cords at regular inter-
vals and replace them if found to be dam-
aged.
