5.2 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
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
b) Protect yourself from electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded objects
radiators, kitchen
refrigerators.
c) Store appliances out of reach of children
when not n use. Do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the appliance or these
instructions to operate it. Appliances are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
d) Disconnect the supply cord plug from the
power outlet before maintenance.
e) When operating an appliance outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) Check the appliance's supply cord at
regular intervals and have it replaced
by a qualified specialist if found to be
damaged. If the appliance's supply cord
is damaged it must be replaced with a
specially-prepared supply cord available

tension cords at regular intervals and
replace them if found to be damaged. Do
not touch the supply cord in the event
of it suffering damage while working.
Disconnect the supply cord plug from
the power outlet. Damaged supply cords
present a risk of electric shock.
