■ 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 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 operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)
protect supply. Use of an RCD reduces the resk of
electic shock.
■ g. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surface
3s only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades contacting a
