(grou nded) power tools.

Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce

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

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.

Ke ep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of

electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the

risk of electric shock.

f) Recommendation for the use of residual current

device with a rated residual current of 30mA or
less.

3) Personal safety

etc., in accordance with these instructions
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations diff erent from
