grounding/earthing conductor (PE).
Any modifications of plugs
and outlets increase the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces or grounded items like pipes,
heaters, central heating radiators and refrigerators.
Touching
earthed or grounded surfaces increases the risk of electric shock.
c) Do not expose your power tool to rain or damp environments.
Water penetrating the tool increases the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not damage the power cord. Never use the power cord to
carry, pull the power tool and do not pull by its power cord to
disconnect plug from the outlet. Keep the power cord away
from sources of heat, oils, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When your power tool is operated outdoors use extension cords
intended for outdoor use only. Using an extension cable intended for
outdoor use decreases the risk of electric shock.
f) It is recommended to connect the device to a mains supply
equipped with a residual current device (RCD) with a rated
current of 30 mA or less.
g ) When it is unavoidable to use your power tool in a damp
environment use an RCD (Residual Current Device) for
protection.
The use of RCDs decreases the risk of electric shock.
a) This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including
children) disabled physically , mentally, sensorial or persons
with no experience and knowledge in operating the
equipment unless they operate the equipment under
supervision or follow user's instructions provided by persons
responsible for their safety.

A
moment of inattention while operating a power tool may result in serious
personal injury.
c) Use personal protective equipment (PPE). Always wear safety
goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) including a dust
mask, anti-slippery footwear, a helmet and ear protection reduces
personal injury.

to the mains and/or inserting a battery make sure its power
switch is in off position.
Carrying your power tool with a finger on its
power switch or without disconnecting it from the mains (switched on)
may result in an accident.

Leaving a key/wrench in the rotating part of your power tool may result
in personal injury.

jewelry. Keep your hair tied. Keep your clothes away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair may be caught by
moving parts.
h) If your power tool allows for using an external dust extraction
or collection system, make sure it is connected and used
properly. Using dust collectors may reduce dust affected risks.
i) Do not let your skills gained through the frequent use of the
power tool make you overconfident and disregard safety
rules.
Carelessness may cause injury in a fraction of a second .
