suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a resid
-
ual current device (RCD) protected
supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock. Use a circuit
breaker with a current limit of 30 mA or
less.
Personal safety:
•
Stay alert, watch what you are do
-
ing 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.
•
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protec-
tive equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure 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 power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing 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, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in mov-
ing parts.
•
If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care :
•
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica
-
tion.
The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
•
Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any
adjust -ments, changing accesso
-
ries, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool ac-
cidentaIly.
•
Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
•
Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
