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 re-
frigerators. 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) never use the power cable to carry
or hang the power tool or to pull
the plug out of the socket. Keep
the power cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or untidy power cables in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) if you are working outdoors with a
power tool, only use extension ca-
bles that are suitable for outdoors.
Using an extension cable that is suit-
able for outdoors reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f)
if operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSOnAL SAFETy
Caution: To avoid accidents and
injuries:
a) Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing 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,

alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention white operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Having your finger
on the switch of the power tool while
carrying it, or having the power tool
switched on when connecting it to the
power supply can cause accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A tool or key located in a ro-
tating part of the power tool of equip-
ment can lead to injuries.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and
clothing away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g) if dust extraction and collection
devices can be installed, make
sure that these are connected and
used correctly. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled
into a false feeling of security and
do not disregard the safety rules
for power tools, even if you are
familiar with the power tool after
