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.
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 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.
e) 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.
f) If operation of the power tool in
a damp environment is unavoi-
dable, please use a residual cur-
rent circuitry. The use of a residual
current circuitry reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
c) Avoid starting the device un-
intentionally. Ensure that the
power tool is switched off be-
fore you connect it to the power
supply and/or before you con-
nect the rechargeable battery,
or before picking it up or car-
rying it. 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 pow-
er 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 enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection
devices can be installed, make
sure that these are connected
and used correctly. Using a dust
collector can reduce hazards caused
by dust.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
