rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
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.
You should only use extension cords
for outdoor use, PVC ordinary duty
with a cross sectional area not less
than 1.0mm

up to 15 meters and 2.5 mm
for extension over 15 meters but
less than 40 meters.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.

or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
2. Use
personal
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
3. Prevent
starting. Ensure 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 energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites
accidents.
4. 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 power tool may result in
personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
