Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the machine. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a machine outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a machine in a damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a machine. Do not use a machine while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating machines 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 protection 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 machine. Carrying machines
with your finger on the switch or energising machines that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the machine
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
machine may result in personal injury.
