when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord . Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Ŷ

particles and splinters.
Ŷ
When working in walls ceiling, or floor, take care to
avoid electric cables and gas or water pipes.

cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
Ŷ
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
