suitable for outdoor use.
Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use re-
duces the risk of electric shock.
f
If it is not possible to avoid
using the electrical tool in a
damp environment, use a resid
ual current circuitbreaker.
The
use of a residual current cir-
cuit-breaker reduces the risk of an
electrical shock.
3 Personal safety
a
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while op-
erating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b
Use personal protective equip
ment. Always wear eye protec
tion.
Protective equipment such as
dust masks, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will re-
duce personal injuries.
c
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the
offposition before connecting to
power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
tool.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or ener-
gising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in per-
sonal injury.
e
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
g
Keep handles dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles do not allow for
safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
h
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and prop
erly used.
Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4 Power tool use and care
a
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power
tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b
Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dan-
gerous and must be repaired.
