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 unavoidable,

use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply. Use of an

RCD reduces the risk of 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 influence

of drugs, alcohol or medication.

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-slip 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-po-

sition 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 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

result in personal injury.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

b) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as

in the presence of flammable

Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power

tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2) 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 as

pipes, radiators, ranges and re-

frigerators. 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 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.
