2) Electrical safety
a) The battery charging cable plug
must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with the earthed
(grounded) battery charge cable.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shocks.
b) The plug of the electric tool must be
compatible with the power socket.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use adapters with grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce the risk of electric shocks.
c) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, cookers and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
d) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet environments. Water
entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
e) Never pull on the cord to remove
the plug from the socket. Keep the
battery charge cable away from heat, oil,
solvents, sharp objects, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shocks.
f) Do not use the cable improperly.
Do not use the cable to carry, pull or
disconnect the tool from the socket. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shocks.
g) When using the power tool
outdoors, use an extension cable
suitable for outdoor use. Using an
extension cable suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
h) If using a power tool in a humid
environment cannot be avoided, use
a power outlet protected by a residual
current device (RCD). Using an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
i) Only connect the battery charger to
a socket with the mains frequency
as indicated on the name plate.
DANGER
Moisture and electricity are not compatible:
• Make sure your hands are dry
when handling and connecting
the electrical cables.
• Never connect an electrical socket
or a cable in a wet area (presence
of puddles or damp terrain).
• If necessary, use an extension cord with
integrated watertight and type-approved
sockets, available on the market.
• The pre-installation of a charging socket,
connected to the mains power network
of the building must be carried out by a
qualified electrician and must be suitably
protected by a differential (RCD-Residual
Current Device) with a release current
compliant with legislation in force.
• Incorrect connection can cause
short circuits and serious personal
injury, including death.
• To prevent interruptions in
the supply of electrical power
during charging operations:
• check that the overall capacity of
the electrical system is suitable.
• connect the machine to a power
socket with sufficient amperage.
• avoid simultaneous use of other electrical
appliances with high energy draw.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, check what you are doing
and use common sense when using
a power tool. Do not use the power
tool when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medicines. A moment of inattention
while operating a power tool may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment
(PPE). Always wear eye protection.
Using protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-slip safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
helps prevent personal injuries.
c) Avoid unintentional starting. Make
sure that the switch is in the "OFF"
position before inserting the plug,
holding or carrying the electric power
tool. Carrying an electric tool with your
finger on the switch or connecting to the
mains socket with the switch in the "ON"
position makes accidents more likely.
d) Remove any adjustment spanner
or tool before switching the power
tool on. A wrench or a tool left attached
