Safety
e) If you use an electric power tool outdoors, use only extension
cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an
extension cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of an electric shock.
f) If you cannot avoid using the power tool in a damp location,
use a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker. The use of
a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker will reduce the risk
of suffering an electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and be sensible and
responsible when using an electric power tool. Never use
the power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention when using
the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety
goggles. Wearing personal safety equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or ear muffs, depending
on the type and application of the tool, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the tool cannot start up accidentally. Ensure
that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the
power supply and/or connect the battery pack, pick it up or carry
it. If you have your finger on the switch while carrying the power
tool or if you connect the power tool to the power supply while it
is switched on, this may cause accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches before you switch
on the power tool. Any tool or wrench in a rotating part of the
power tool could cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand
squarely and keep your balance at all times. This will enable you
to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fitting clothes or
jewellery. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
