Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal
electric shock if your body is earthed.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a
power tool, it will increase the risk of a lethal electric shock.
Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
a lethal electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable
for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
a lethal electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power
supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD
reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

Electrical safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal
injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or
hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal
injury.
Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
