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, pull
ing or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or mov
ing 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 it is not possible to avoid
using the electrical tool in a
damp environment, use a resid
ual current circuitbreaker.
The use of a residual current cir
cuitbreaker reduces the risk of
an electrical 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 influ
ence of drugs, alcohol or med
ication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b Use personal protective equip
ment. Always wear eye pro
tection. Protective equipment
such as dust masks, nonskid
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
offposition 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 ener
gising power tools that
have the switch on invites acci
dents.
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 per
sonal injury.
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
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and prop
