crease the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool out-

doors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp lo-

cation is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention white op-
erating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites ac-
cidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times. This ena-
bles better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the con-

nection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the

correct power tool for your applica-
tion. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which
it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any ad-
just -ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentaIly.

• Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for mis-

alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents
