2 Electrical safety
a
The plug of the electrical tool
must fit into the socket. The
plug may not be modified in any
way. Do not use an adapter in
conjunction with protective-
earth power tools.
Unmodified
plugs and the matching outlets
reduce risk of electric shock.
b
Avoid bodily contact with
earthed surfaces such as pipes,
radiators,
cookers and
refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
c
Keep the appliance away from
rain or moisture.
Water entering
an electrical device increases the
risk of electrical shock.
d
Do not misuse the cable by
using it to carry the attached
power tool, to hang it up or to
pull the plug out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving
power tool parts.
Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e
If you are working with a power
tool outdoors, only use
extension cables that are
approved for outdoor use.
The
use of a suitable extension cord
for outdoor use will reduce the
risk of an electric shock.
f
If it is not possible to avoid
using the power tool in a damp
environment, use a residual
current circuit-breaker.
The use
of a residual current circuit-
breaker reduces the risk of an
electrical shock.
3 Safety of persons
a
Be careful and ensure that you
pay attention to what you are
doing and when using the
power tool. Do not use power
tools when tired, or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or
prescription drugs.
A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b
Use safety equipment. Always
wear goggles.
Safety equipment
such as dust masks, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hats or hearing
protection, according to the type
of power tool and the purpose,
will reduce personal injuries.
c
Prevent unintentional starting
up. Ensure that the power tool
is switched off before you
connect it to the power
supply/battery or carry it
anywhere.
Carrying the device
with your finger on the switch or
plugging in a device that its
power switch turned on invites
accidents.
d
Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the
power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of
the device may result in personal
injury.
