 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suita-
ble for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when op-
erating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or un-
der the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
 Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Pro-
tective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
 Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-posi-
tion 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 energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
 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 personal injury.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
 If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
