unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e)When operating a power
tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool
in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3.Personal safety
a)Stay alert, watch what you
are doing and use common
sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are
tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of
inattention while operating
power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b)Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety
Cordless shrub shear /
grass shear / weeder
shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for
appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) 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
tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the
switch or energising power
tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.
d)Remove any adjusting
key or wrench before
turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e)Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables
better control of the
power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not
wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g)If devices are provided
for the connection of dust
extraction and collection
