There is an increased risk of elec-
tric 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, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f)
If operation of the power tool in a
damp environment is unavoidable,
please use a residual current device.
The use of a residual current device re-
duces the risk of an electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
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, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protec-
tive equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate condi-
tions 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. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This applies especially when wor-
king on slopes. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
h) Walk when holding the device in
your hand. Do not run.
i)
Do not touch any of the dangerous
moving parts before you have re-
moved the battery and all moving
parts have come to a complete
standstill. There is a risk of injury.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
