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 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

power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the in

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.

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 o

This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o
