 Keep your workplace in an orderly condition! Untidiness
can result in accidents.
 Be careful when stepping back! Risk of stumbling!
 If you come across to foreign objects, please power off the

Do not use the device in moist or wet ambience.
−
Do not expose the device to rain.
−
Do not work in bad weather conditions (e.g. rain, risk of
−
lightning).
Do only work with sufficient visibility conditions. Pro-
−
vide for good illumination.
 Keep bystanders and animals away from your working
area.
Do not allow other persons, especially children, to touch
the tool or cable.
 Switch off the machine if persons, in particular children or
pets, are close to you or if you change your working area.
 Within his area of work the operator is responsible for third
parties.
 Children and youngsters less than 16 years of age and
people who have not read the original instructions must
not operate the machine.
 Keep children away from machine.
 Never operate the machine if other persons are in the
immediate vicinity.
 The user is responsible for accidents with other people or
their property.
 Never leave the device unattended.
 Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in
the given performance range.
 Never operate the unit
with damaged protective devices or covers
−
without protective devices, e.g. collecting bag
−
with damaged or worn cable.
−
 Do not modify anything on the machine that could impair
its safety.
 Faulty or damaged parts in the device must be replaced
immediately.
Never leave the machine powered when tipping it over on

its side. The machine is designed for operating in upright
posture.
 Do not spray machine with water (this is hazardous due to
live components).
 Switch the machine off and remove the mains
plug from the socket when
carrying out repair works
−
carrying out servicing and repair works
−
removal of faults
−
eliminating blockages
−
checking the connection cable for damage and entan-
−
glement during operation
transporting
−
leaving unattended (even during short interruptions)
−
unusual noises and vibrations
−
 Do not touch dangerous moving parts before the machine
has been isolated from the electric supply and such mov-
ing parts have come to a dead stop.
 Thoroughly maintain your garden vac:
14
Make sure that the ventilation apertures are free.
−
Keep handles dry and free of oils and grease.
−
Follow the maintenance instructions.
−
 Check the machine for possible damage
Before continuing to use the machine, the protective
−
devices must be inspected to ensure that they work
perfectly and with their intended function
Check whether the parts are damaged. All parts must
−
be correctly installed and fulfil all conditions to ensure
perfect operation of the saw.
Damaged guards and parts must be properly repaired
−
or exchanged by a recognized, specialist workshop; in-
sofar as nothing else is stated in the instructions for
use.
Damaged or illegible safety warning labels should be
−
replaced immediately.
 Store the unused machine in a dry locked place away from
the reach of children.

Electrical safety

 Design of the connection cable according to IEC 60245 (H
07 RN-F) with a core cross-profile section of at least
1.5 mm² for cable lengths up to 25 m
−
2.5 mm for cable lengths over 25 m
2
−
 Long and thin connection lines result in a potential drop.
The motor does not reach any longer its maximal power;
the function of the device is reduced.
 Plugs and coupler outlets on connection cables must be
made of rubber, non-rigid PVC or other thermoplastic ma-
terial of same mechanical stability or be covered with this
material.
 The connector of the connection cable must be splash-
proof.
 When running the connection line observe that it does not
interfere, is not squeezed, bended and the plug connection
does not get wet.
 Keep the extension cable away from dangerous moving
parts to prevent damages to the cable, which can result in
touching live parts.
 Wind off completely the cable when using a cable drum.
 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is not meant.
Protect the cable against heat, oil and sharp edges.
 Do not use the cable for machine carrying and hanging up
or for pulling the plug out of the socket.
 Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid touching
earthed parts with your body (e.g. pipes, heating appa-
ratus, cookers, fridges etc.).
 Regularly check the extension cables and replace them if
they are damaged.
 Do never connect a damaged cable to the mains. Do not
touch a damaged cable before it is disconnected from the
mains. A damaged cable may cause contact with live
parts.
 Do not use any defective connection cables.
 When working outdoors, only use extension cables espe-
cially approved and appropriately labelled for outdoor use.
 Do not set up any provisional electrical connections.
 Never bypass protective devices or deactivate them.
 Only hook up the machine by means of a fault-current
circuit breaker (30 mA).
