and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suita-
ble 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 re-
sidual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when op-
erating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or un-
der the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Pro-
tective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion 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 acci-
dents.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 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, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
