cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f) If operation of the power tool in
a damp environment is unavoi-
dable, please use a residual cur-
rent circuitry. The use of a residual
current circuitry reduces the risk of an
electric 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 influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-po-
sition 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 accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal 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) If dust extraction and collection
devices can be installed, make
sure that these are connected
and used correctly. Use of dust col-
lection 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 pow-
er 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 dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the wall
socket and/or remove the re-
chargeable battery before you
change the device's settings,
change accessory parts or put
away the power tool. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentaIly.
d) Store idle power tools out of
the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Look after the power tool and
application tool carefully. Check
for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condi-
