5.
Use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use when operating power tools outdoors. Use a cord suitable
for outdoors to reduce the risk of electric shock.
6.
Use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD) when the power tool is operated in a
damp location. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Note
The term "Residual Current Device" (RCD) can be replaced by "Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter" (GFCI) or
"Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker" (ELCB).
2.2.3. PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
2.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, helmets, or ear protection used at the appropriate times reduces injuries.
Avoid accidental starting of the tool. Make sure the switch is in the off position before you connect the
3.
tool to the power source and/or battery pack, pick it up, or carry it. Carrying a power tool with your finger
on the switch or connecting a power tool with the switch in the 'on' position can cause accidents.
4.
Remove any adjusting wrench before switching the electric tool on. A wrench left attached to a rotating
part can cause injury.
5.
Do not rush. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This provides better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
6.
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
7.
If devices are provided for connecting dust extraction and collection equipment, ensure that these are
connected and properly used. Use dust collectors to reduce the risk caused by dust.
2.2.4. USE AND CARE OF THE POWER TOOL
Do not force the power tool. Use the power tool suited for the job. The adapted power tool does the work
1.
better and more safely at the speed it was built to operate at.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not allow it to be switched on and off. Power tools that
2.
cannot be controlled by a switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
3.
Unplug the tool from the socket or remove the battery (if possible) before any adjustment, change of
accessory or storage. These preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power
tool.
4.
When not in use, keep power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are dangerous when operated by inex-
perienced users.
5.
Maintenance of the power tool and its accessories is mandatory. Check that the moving parts are not
out of alignment or jammed, that there are no broken parts or that there is no other condition which
could affect the operation of the power tool. If damaged, repair the power tool before using it. Many
accidents are due to poorly maintained power tools.
6.
Keep the cutting elements sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting elements
are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories, blades, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be done. Using the power tool for operations other than those
specified can result in hazardous situations.
2.2.5. USE OF BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS AND PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
1.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
