e) When using power tools outdoors, use anextension lead that is suitable for
this purpose. Theuse of anextension lead designed for outdoor use decreases
therisk of electric shocks.
f) If theuse of thepower tool in awet environment is unavoidable, awall
socket equipped with aresidual current device (RCD) should be used.
Theuse of anRCD (with atripping current of 30mA and which trips within 30ms)
significantly reduces therisk of electrocution.
3) Personal safety

power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under theinfluence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention while using apower
tool may result in aserious injury.

plugging thepower tool into awall socket, fitting thebattery or picking up/
carrying thepower tool. Carrying apower tool with your finger on thepower
switch/trigger or connecting thepower tool to awall socket when thepower
switch is set to ON is inviting anaccident.
