Electrical safety
•
Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock
•
Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators.
There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
•
Do not expose power tools to

risk of electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pull-

Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric
shock.

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,

(RCD) protected supply.
Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If the supply cord of this power
