3.10 Electrical safety
The connector plug of the battery charger must fit in the plug receptacle. The
connector plug may not be modified in any way. Do not use the adapter plug
together with grounded machines. Unmodified plugs and plug receptacles re-
duce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces. There is a higher risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is grounded.
Keep machines of any kind away from moisture. Penetrating moisture in-
creases the danger of an electric shock.
Do not divert the cable from its intended use. Protect cable from heat, oil and
sharp objects. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
When working outdoors, only use cables that are suitable for outdoor use.
The use of a cable that is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
If work in a moist environment cannot be avoided, a fault current protective
switch must be used. Fault current protective switches reduce the risk of an
electric shock.
3.10.1 Extension cable and cable drum
The following points must be observed in order to minimize the danger of injuries,
fire, electric shock and material damage:
The extension cable and cable drum must be inspected and undamaged.
Only use extension cables with grounded conductors and a grounded con-
ductor terminal to the plug and coupling.
Only use inspected extension cables and cable drums that are suitable for
construction site use.
Damaged extension cables and cable drums may not be used and must be
replaced immediately.
Cable drums and multi-pole plug receptacles must have the same require-
ments as extension cables.
Protect extension cables, cable drums, multi-pole plug receptacles and con-
nection couplings from moisture.
The extension cables and cable drums must be completely unrolled before
operation.
