e) When using a power tool outdoors only use extension cables that are also suitable for outdoor
use. The use of an extension cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If the use of a power tool in a damp environment cannot be avoided, a residual current device
should be used. Use of a residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal s
afety
a) Be vigilant, pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use any power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. a momentary lapse in concentration when operating a power tool can result in serious
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. The use of personal protective
equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, hard hats and ear protection will reduce the
risk of injury depending on the type and application of the power tool.
c) Prevent the power tool from being started accidentally. Make sure the power tool is switched off
before picking it up, carrying it or connecting it to the mains supply and/or battery pack. If you
carry a power tool with your finger on the switch or connect the tool to the mains supply when it is
switched on, it can result in an accident.
d) Remove any adjusting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. a tool or wrench that
is located in a rotating part can result in injury.
e) avoid adopting an abnormal posture. Make sure you have a secure footing and keep your
balance at all times. Doing this will enable you to maintain better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any loose-fitting clothes or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled
in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection equipment can be fitted, make sure it is connected and used
correctly. Use of a dust extraction system can reduce hazards caused by dust.
4) Operating and handling the power tool
a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the appropriate power tool for the job. Using the correct
power tool will enable you to do the job safer and more efficiently in the specified power range.
b) Do not use a power tool if it has a defective switch. a power tool that cannot be switched on or
off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the power tool. This precaution will prevent the power tool from
starting accidentally.
d) Keep any unused power tools out of the reach of children. This power tool should not be used by
