Electrical safety
u The plug of the machine 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 the risk of electric shock.
u Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refri-
gerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
u Do not expose the machine to rain
or wet conditions. Penetration of
water in the machine increases the
risk of an electric shock.
u Never use the cord for carrying,
hanging up or unplugging the ma-
chine. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
u When operating a machine out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
u When operating the machine in
damp environments is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device
(RCD). The use of a residual current
device (RCD) reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
u Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating the machine. Do not use
a machine while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alco-
hol or medication. A moment of in-
attention while operating the ma-
chine may result in serious personal
injury.
u Wear safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Wearing
safety equipment such as dusk
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
u Prevent unintentional starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off‑posi-
tion before connecting to power
source and/or battery, picking up
or carrying the machine. Carrying
machines with your finger on the
switch or plugging in machines that
have the switch on invites accidents.
u Remove any adjusting key or span-
ner before turning the machine on.
A spanner or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may res-
ult in personal injury.
u Avoid abnormal body posture.
Provide for a secure stance and
keep your balance at all times;
never run. This enables better con-
trol of the machine in unexpected
situations.
