• Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power
tools�
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts� Damaged or entan-
gled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) protected
supply� Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
• Where possible, connect the equip-
ment only to a plug socket with a leak-
age-current-operated circuit breaker
(Residual Current Device), with a rated
current of not more than 30 mA.
• If the power cable for this equipment
is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, a customer service
agent of the same or a similarly quali-

Personal safety
Caution: This is how to avoid ac-
cidents and injuries:
• Stay alert, watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or un-
der the inuence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion white operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment�
Always wear eye protection. Protec-
tive 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� En-
sure the switch is in the o󰀨-position
before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool� Carrying power

energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on� A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This
enables 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.
• Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, because the cutter
blade may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
