b) Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased 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 una-
voidable, please use a residual
current circuitry. The use of a re-
sidual 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 infl u-
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 personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to
power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
fi nger on the switch or energising pow-
er 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 pow-
er 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. Use of dust col-
lection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled
into a false sense of security and
do not disregard the safety rules
for power tools, even if you are
familiar with the power tool af-
ter using it many times. Careless
action can lead to serious injuries within
a fraction of a second.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
