functional and appropriate, i.e. it should be tight-
fitting but not cause hindrance. Do not wear
either jewelry or clothing which could become
entangled with high grass. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.

Electrical safety
1. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
tool in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain.
Water entering the tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Use of power supply via a RCD with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
8. Before use, check the supply and extension cord for
signs of damage or ageing.
9. If the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect
the cord from the supply immediately. Do not touch
the cord before disconnecting the supply.
