Electrical safety
• The mains plug on the tool must match the mains outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Never use an adapter with earthed power tools. Unmodied
plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the
tool, or to pull out the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• If using the tool outdoors, only use an extension cord approved for outdoor
use. Cords intended for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
• If it is absolutely necessary to use power tools in damp conditions, use a mains
connection protected by an RDC. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
• Stay alert. Pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense
when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when
using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment. Wear safety glasses. Depending on the type of
tool and how it is used, safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety
shoes, safety helmets and ear protection reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position
before inserting the battery or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool
with your nger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains supply when
the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove Allen keys/spanners etc. before starting the tool. Spanners or the like
that are left in a rotating part of the tool can cause personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a rm footing and good balance. This will
ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-tting clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-tting clothing,
jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
