and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
• 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.
• Do not operate the product in rain or wet conditions.
This may increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the product. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
• When operating a product outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• If operating a product in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual 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 operating a product. Do not
use a product while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating products may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective 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-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
product. Carrying products with your finger on the
switch or energising products that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the product on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the product may result in personal
injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
