SAFETY GUIDELINES SAFETY GUIDELINES
• DO NOT use the power tool or machinery
in rainy conditions or wet areas where the
power tool or machinery could get wet.
Water in this power tool or machinery can
lead to electric shock.
• Only use the power tool or machinery
when the plug correctly matches the
power outlet. Modifying plugs greatly
increases the risk of electric shock.
• Keep the power cord away from anything
that could damage it such as sharp edges,
moving parts or heat. A damaged power
cord increases the risk of electric shock.
• Only operate outdoors with the use of an
outdoor extension lead. Not all extension
leads are suited to outdoor use and using
one which is not can greatly increase the risk
of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded or
earthed surfaces. Surfaces such as radiators,
ranges, pipes, and refrigerators can increase
the risk of electric shock due to your body
being earthed or grounded.
• Never carry the power tool by the cord,
or yank the cable from the power outlet.
This can damage the internal wiring and may
become a hazard.
WARNING
Electric shock can cause serious injury
or, in some cases be fatal.
Electrical Safety
• Use the correct tool for the job. Forcing
a tool to do a job it was not designed for
increases the risk of accident or injury.
• Disconnect tools and machinery from
power, or remove batteries before doing
any maintenance or adjustments, or
before storing the tools and machinery.
This reduces or removes the risk of a power
connection that causes the tool or machinery
to accidentally re, which can help prevent
injury or accident.
• Check the general condition of the power
tool for damage or any problems that
could aect the way the tool or machine
works. An unrepaired tool or machine can
lead to accident and injury. Only have your
tool or machine repaired with genuine parts
from The ToolShed.
• Only use the power tool and machinery
with genuine parts or accessories that are
designed to be used with this power tool
and machinery. Failure to do so could result
in accident or injury or damage your tool or
machinery.
• Store your tool or machinery out of reach
of children, and away from untrained
personnel when not in use. Use by some-
body untrained, or a child, could lead to
accident or serious injury.

ment (PPE). Eye protection, ear protection,
