2.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The plug on the tool must fit into the socket.
The socket must not be modified in any way.
Do not use adapters with tools that must be
earthed.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, heating systems, stoves and
refrigerators.
There is an increase risk of suffering an electric
shock if your body is earthed.
Keep the tool out of the rain and away from
moisture.
The ingress of water into an electric tool increa-
ses the risk of an electric shock.
Do not use the cable for a purpose for which
it is not designed, for example to carry the
tool, hang it up or to pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts of the tool.
Cables that are damaged or caught in machinery
increase the risk of an electric shock.
If you use an electric tool outdoors, use only
extension cables that are approved for outdo-
ors use.
The use of an extension cable that is approved
for outdoors use reduces the risk of an electric
shock.
Connect the electric tool to the mains power
supply (230V~, 50Hz) via a socket-outlet with
earthing contact with maximum 16A protec-
tion. We also recommend that you fit a resi-
dual-current circuit-breaker (RCCB) with a
maximum nominal tripping current of 30 mA.
Seek the advice of your electrician.

2.3 PERSONAL SAFETY

Be careful, watch what you are doing and use
an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if
you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention when using the electric
tool can result in serious injuries.
Wear personal safety equipment and always
wear safety goggles.
Wearing personal safety equipment such as dust
masks, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or ear
plugs, depending on the type and application of
the tool, reduces the risk of injury.
