2 Electrical safety
2.1 Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify 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
2.2 Avoid body contact with 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
2.3 Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock
2.4 Do not abuse the cord. Never use
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
2.5 When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces risk
of electric shock
2.6 If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock
NOTE The term "residual current
device (RCD)" can be replaced by the
term "ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI)" or "earth leakage circuit
breaker (ELCB)"
2.7 Before use, check the supply cord
and any extension cord for signs of
damage or wear. Do not plug in
cords that are damaged or worn to
the mains. Damaged or worn cords
may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury
