WARNING: For your protection if this tool
is to be used outdoors it should not be
exposed to rain, or used in damp locations.
Do not place the tool on damp surfaces.
Use a clean, dry workbench if available. For
added protection use a residual current
device (R.C.D.) that will interrupt the supply
if the leakage current to earth exceeds
30mA for 30ms. Always check the operation
of the residual current device (R.C.D.)
before using the machine. If an extension
cable is required it must be a suitable
type for use outdoors and so labelled.
The manufacturers instructions should be
followed when using an extension cable.

1. General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.2)
[Work area safety]
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

room.
2. General Power Tool Safety Warnings
(2.3)
[Electrical Safety]
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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 shock) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
e) 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.
