any way. Do not use an adapter
in conjunction with protective-
earth power tools. Unmodified
plugs and the matching outlets
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with
earthed surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Keep the appliance away from
rain or moisture. Water entering
an electrical device increases the
risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not misuse the cable by
using it to carry the attached
power tool, to hang it up or to
pull the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and mov-
ing power tool parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) If you are working with a power
tool outdoors, only use exten-
sion cables that are approved
for outdoor use. The use of a
suitable extension cord for out-
door use will reduce the risk of
an electric shock.
f) If it is not possible to avoid
using the power tool in a damp
environment, use a residual
current circuit-breaker. The use
of a residual current cir-
cuit-breaker reduces the risk of
an electrical shock.

Safety of persons
a) Be careful and ensure that you
pay attention to what you are
doing and when using the
power tool. Do not use power
tools when tired, or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or
prescription drugs. A moment
of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always
wear goggles. Safety equipment
such as dust masks, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hats or hearing
protection, according to the type
of power tool and the purpose,
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting
up. Ensure that the power tool
is switched off before you con-
nect it to the power supply/
battery or carry it anywhere.
Carrying the device with your fin-
ger on the switch or plugging in a
device that its power switch
turned 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 device may result in
personal injury.
e) Avoid contorted body posi-
tions. Ensure that you have a
secure stance and keep your
balance at all times. This ena-
bles better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
