c) Keep electric power tools away from rain or moisture.
Water entering an electric power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
d)Do not use the connecting cable for any other purpose.
Never carry or pull the electric power tool by the

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
extension suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f) If operating an electric power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
