There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
and wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not misuse the cable by using it
to carry the power tool, to hang it
up or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
device parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• When operating a power tool
outdoors, only use an extension
cord that is also suitable for
outdoor use. The use of a suitable
extension cord for outdoor use will
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• When operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current protective device
(RCD). Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• This unit may not be used by
people (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or
mental capacities, with a lack of
experience and without the
appropriate knowledge, unless they
are supervised by someone who is
responsible for their safety or have
been instructed by such a person
with regard to how the unit is to be
operated.
• Be careful and ensure that you pay
attention to what you are doing and
make sure you are using the power
tool sensibly. Do not use power
tools when you are tired, or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or
prescription drugs. A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal safety equipment and
always wear goggles. Safety
equipment such as a dust mask, non-
slip safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection, according to the type of
power tool and the purpose, will
reduce the risk of personal injuries.
• Avoid switching on accidentally.
Ensure that the power tool is
switched off before you connect it
to the power supply/battery or
carry it anywhere. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the
device may result in personal injury.
• Avoid unnatural body positions.
Ensure that you are standing
securely and keep your balance at
all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
hair, clothing and gloves well away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and
non-slip footwear are recommended
when working outdoors.
