any form. Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed tools.
Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating
elements, stoves and refrigerators.
The risk through electric shock increases if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep the equipment away from rain and moisture.
The risk of an electric shock
increases if water penetrates electrical equipment.
d) Do not misuse the supply cord by carrying the tool by the lead, hanging it
from the lead or by pulling on the supply cord to remove the plug. Keep the
supply cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged
or twisted leads increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you work outdoors with a power tool, only use extension cables suitable
for outdoor use. Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 1mm

3-core cord
is recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be
marked cord type H05RN-F or H05RR-F. Maximum extension cord length
shall be 50m.
The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces the
risk of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the tool in a damp environment, use a 30mA
residual current operated circuit-breaker. Using a residual current operated
circuit-breaker avoids the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with
a power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a moment of inattentiveness while using the
tool can lead to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles
Wearing
personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet
or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Make sure that the electric tool is switched off
before you connect it to the power supply, pick it up or carry it.
Accidents can
occur if you carry the power tool while your finger is on the switch or if you connect
the power tool to the power supply while switch it is on.
