or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
■
When operating a power tool
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 power tool 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 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 while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

Protective
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.

Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair and clothing away from
moving
parts.
Loose
jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second.
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making
any
adjustments,
accessories, or storing power
tools.
