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.
5.3
Personal 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
plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents
more likely.
Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power
tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all
times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.
If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection
facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly.
Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
5.4
Power tool use and care
Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct
power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better
results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A
power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do
not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
