Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

Electrical safety

WARNING: There is always a risk of shocks
from electrical products. Do not use the
product in bad weather conditions. Prevent
that your body touches lightning conductors
and metal objects. Always follow the
instructions in the Operator's manual to
prevent damage.
WARNING: Do not clean the product with
water. Water can enter the electrical system
or the engine and cause damage to the
product or short circuit.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• 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.
• Only connect the product to correctly grounded
outlet.
• Check that the mains voltage and fusing
corresponds with that stated on the rating plate on
the machine.
• Make sure that the cord and extension cable are not
damaged and in good condition.
• 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.
• Do not use the product if the cord is damaged, hand
it in to an approved service center for repair. A
damaged cable can cause dangerous injury and in
worst case kill.
• Make sure that the extension cable is folded out to
prevent overheating before you use it.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
