ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
c. Do not expose the Scale to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the Scale will increase the risk of electric shock.
d.Do not abuse the Power Cord (17). Never use the Cord for car- rying, pulling or unplugging the Cord. 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 the Scale 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.
f. If operating the Scale in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3.Personal safety
a.Stay alert, watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating the Scale. Do not use the Scale while you are tired or un- der the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten- tion while operating the Scale may result in serious personal injury.

c.Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the Power Switch (15) is in the
ing to power source and/or bat- tery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying battery operated equipment with your finger on the Power Switch or energizing equip- ment that have the Power Switch on invites accidents.
d.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the Scale in unexpected situations.
4.Scale use and care
a.Do not force the Scale. Use the correct Scale for your application.
The correct Scale will do the job bet- ter and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b.Do not use the Scale if the Power
Switch (15) does not turn it on and off. Any equipment that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Unplug the Power Cord (17) before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Scale.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the equip- ment accidentally.
d.Store idle equipment out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the Scale or these instructions to oper- ate the equipment. Line powered and battery powered equipment are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.Maintain the Scale. Check for misalignment or binding of mov- ing parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the Scale’s operation. If damaged, have the Scale repaired before
