2) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in
t e presence o
gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
3) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
1) 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.
2) 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. Do not
expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
3) Do not expose power tools to 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. 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.
Personal safety
1) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under t e in uence o
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2) Use personal protective
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 unintentional starting.
Ensure t e switc is in t e o -
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.
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.
