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 influ-

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 appro-

priate 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

finger 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 devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction

and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and prop-

erly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool

will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and

off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the bat-

tery pack from the power tool

before making any adjust

-ments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools. Such preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentaIly.

d) Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not al-

low persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.
