ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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. -
ing outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric 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.
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
opergled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
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.
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock. Use a surge pro-
tector with a release current of 30 mA
or less.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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 inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention white operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
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 appropria
te conditions will reduce personal inju-
ries.
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the o-position
before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power
energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations. .
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..
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.
