2) Electrical safety

Caution: This is how to
avoid accidents and inju-
ries from an electric shock:
a) The plug of the power tool
must fit into the socket.
The plug must not be mo-
dified in any way. Do not
use adapter plugs with
power tools that have a
protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets re-
duce the risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose the power
tool to rain or wet condi-
tions. The penetration of water
into a power tool increases the
risk of electric shock.
d) Never use the power ca-
ble to carry or hang the
power tool or to pull the
plug out of the socket.
Keep the power cab-
le away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or untidy po-
wer cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) If you are working out-
doors with the power
tool, only use extension
cables that are suitable
for outdoors. Using an ex-
tension cable that is suitable
for outdoors reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operation of the power
tool in a damp environ-
ment is unavoidable,
please use a fault-current
circuit breaker. The use of
a fault-current circuit breaker
reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
3) SAFETY OF PERSONS
a) Pay attention! Be aware of
what you are doing and
take the utmost care when
working with a power
tool. Do not use power
tools if you are tired or
you are under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of in-
attention whilst using the power
tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protecti-
ve equipment and safety
goggles at all times. Wea-
ring personal protective equip-
ment such as a dust mask, non-
slip safety shoes, hard hat or
ear protection, according to the
type and use of the power tool,
reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid starting the power
tool unintentionally. En-
sure that the power tool
is switched off before you
connect it to the power
supply, pick it up or carry
it and/or before you
connect the rechargeable
battery. Having your finger
on the switch of the power tool
