General safety rules for electric tools
Electrical safety
A) 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.
B) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such a 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 in 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 of 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 outdoors reduces the risk of electric shock.
F) If the tool will be serviced in a wet place, use a Residual-current device. This device
avoids the risk of electric shock.
Warning: If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced for a specially prepared
cord available through the authorized technical service organization. Do not
attempt operate power tools in bad conditions.
