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 en-
tangled 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 operating a power tool in
a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
Caution: This is how to avoid
accidents and injuries:
a) Stay alert, watch what you
are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are
tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention
white operating power tools
may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equip-
ment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for ap-
propriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid starting the device un-
intentionally. Ensure that the
power tool is switched off
before you connect it to the
power supply and/or before
you connect the rechargea-
ble battery, or before picking
it up or carrying 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
power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may re-
sult in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in un-
expected 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 col-
lection devices can be in-
stalled, make sure that these
are connected and used cor-
rectly. 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 cor-
