General safety advice for electrical power tools

c)

Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water en-
tering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.

d)

Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for which
it was not intended, e.g. to carry the device, to hang
up the device or to pull the mains plug out of the mains

Damaged or tangled
mains leads increase the risk of electric shock.

e)

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f)

Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if
operating the electrical power tool in a moist environ-

The use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.

b)

Wear personal protective equipment and always wear
safety glasses.
The wearing of personal protective equipment
