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 Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, 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 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.
e When operating a power tool out
doors, use an extension cord suita
ble 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 resid-
ual 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 influence of drugs, alco

hol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the offposi
tion before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising 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 result in personal inju-
ry.
e Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situa-
tions.
f Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g If devices are provided for the con
nection of dust extraction and col
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
