and appliances create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and other persons away
from the area while the appliance is in
use. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

5.1.2 Electrical safety

a) The appliance's supply cord plug must
match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) appliances. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose appliances to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering an appliance
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the appliance. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
e) When operating an appliance outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If use of the appliance in a damp envir-
onment cannot be avoided, use a ground
fault circuit interrupter. Use of a ground
fault circuit interrupter reduces the risk of
electric shock.

5.1.3 Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating the
appliance. Do not use the appliance while
tired or under the influence of drugs, al-
cohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating appliances may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Avoid accidental starting. Check that the
appliance is switched off before you con-
nect it to the electric supply and/or the
battery and before picking it up or carry-
ing it. Carrying appliances with your finger
such as pipes,
on the switch or plugging in appliances that
are already switched on invites accidents.
c) Avoid unusual body positions. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
d) Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, cloth-
ing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
e) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.

5.1.4 Use of the appliance

a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct appliance for the work you are
doing. The correct appliance will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
b) Do not use an appliance if its switch
is defective. An appliance that cannot be
controlled by the switch (switched on and
off) is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery before
making any adjustments,
accessories, or storing the appliance.
Such preventive
reduce the risk of starting the appliance
accidentally.
d) Store appliances out of reach of children
when not n use. Do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the appliance or these
instructions to operate it. Appliances are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain the machine carefully. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the machine's
operation. If damaged, have the machine
repaired before use. Poor maintenance is
the cause of many accidents.
f) Use the appliance and its accessories
etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of appliance, taking into
account the working conditions and the
changing
safety measures
