2.
Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet

Do not use any adapter with
earthed (grounded) power tools
.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators
.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded
.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions

Keep cord
away from heat oil, sharp edges or moving parts
.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use
.
Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply
