e) 

 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.

f)  

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.

3.  Personal safety

a)  

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.

b)  

Use personal protective equipment.

 Always 

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

c)  

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch 
is in the off -position before connecting to power 
source and/or battery pack, picking up or 
carrying the tool.

 Carrying power tools with your 

finger on the switch or energising power tools that 
have the switch 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 power tool 
may result in personal injury.

e)  

Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and

balance at all times.

 This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f)  

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 
away from moving parts.

 Loose clothes, jewel-

lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g)  

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.

4.  Power tool use and care

a)  

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.

b)  

Do not use the power tool if the switch does 
not turn it on and off.

 Any power tool that can-

not be controlled with the switch is dangerous 
and must be repaired.

c)  

Disconnect the plug from the power source 
and/or the battery pack from the power tool 
before making any adjustments, changing 
accessories, or storing power tools.

 Such 

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of 
starting the power tool accidentally.

d)  

Store idle power tools out of the reach of 
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar 
with the power tool or these instructions to 
operate the power tool.

 Power tools are 

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e)  

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment 
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts 
and any other condition that may affect the 
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the  
power tool repaired before use.

 Many acci-

dents are caused by poorly maintained power  
tools.

f)  

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp  
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are 
easier to control.

g)  

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 
etc. in accordance with these instructions,  
taking into account the working conditions 
and the work to be performed.

 Use of the 

power tool for operations different from those 
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5.  Use and handling of the cordless 

power tool

a)  

Charge the rechargeable battery unit using 
only the charger recommended by the manu- 
facturer.

 Chargers are often designed for a  

particular type of rechargeable battery unit. 
There is the danger of fire if other types of 
rechargeable battery units are used.
