• Use the correct extension leads. If you use extension leads outdoors, only use those designed for
outdoor use. Only use extension leads with adequate wire core area and roll out the whole lead.
• Use common sense and be careful. Think carefully before carrying out every action, so that it is carried
out safely. Never operate machines/power tools when you are tired or under the influence of medicine.
• Inspect the tool for damage. Check the following before turning the tool on: that the guards and other
parts are undamaged and working properly, that moving parts can rotate freely and are correctly aligned,
that no moving parts can get caught, that there is no fault or defect that could affect the performance of the
machine. A safety guard or any other part that is damaged should be repaired by a tradesman or replaced.
Damaged power leads and switches must always be replaced by a tradesman. Never operate a tool if you
cannot stop or start the tool comfortably.
• Use only recommended accessories. The use of non-recommended accessories can cause accidents
and personal injury.
• Should only be repaired by a qualified technician. This tool conforms to current safety requirements.
Repairs to the tool should only be carried out by a tradesman using original spares; otherwise the tool could
cause accidents and personal injury.
• Use a Residual Current Device on all 230 V power tools. This can help minimise the risk of an electric
shock if an earth fault or short circuit occurs.
