2) Electrical safety
a) The plug of the charger cable must
be compatible with the socket.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapters with the
earthed battery charger cable.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
d) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet environments. Water
entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
e) Never pull on the cable of the
battery charger to extract the plug.
Keep the battery charger cable
away from heat, oil, solvents, sharp
objects, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
i) Only connect the battery
charger to power outlets with
the mains voltage and frequency
indicated on the rating plate.
DANGER
Moisture and electricity are not compatible:
• Always handle and connect electric
cables in dry conditions.
• Never allow electric sockets or
cables to come into contact with
wet areas (puddles or wet soil).
• If necessary, use extension leads
with integral, watertight and approved
sockets sold on the market.
• A mains socket for recharging, connected
to the mains of a building, must be
installed by a qualified electrician and
must be properly protected by a differential
circuit breaker (RCD Residual Current
Device) with a tripping current value
compliant with current regulations.
• Incorrect wiring can cause short circuits,
severe injuries and even death.
• To avoid interruptions in the power
supply while recharging:
a. make sure that the overall flow rate of
the electrical system is adequate.
b. connect the machine to a mains
socket with sufficient amperage.
c. avoid using other high absorption
electrical equipment at the same time.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, check what you are doing
and use common sense when using
a power tool. Do not use the power
tool when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medicines. A moment of inattention
while operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source, 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 attached
to a rotating part of the machine
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
