Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shocks. If
your body is earthed or grounded.
■
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shocks.
■
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shocks.

When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. When using a cord suitable for
outdoor use, this will reduce the risk of
electric shocks.

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.
