The user is responsible for accidents with other people or their
property.
Never leave the saw unattended.
Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in the
given performance range.
Only operate the machine with complete and correctly
attached safety equipment and do not alter anything on the
machine that could impair the safety.
Never try to bypass the interlocking function of the safety
device.
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 off the machine and pull the mains plug from the
socket and make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete standstill before:
−
carrying out repair works
−
carrying out servicing and repair works
−
removal of faults
−
eliminating blockages
−
checking the connection cable for damage and
entanglement 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 moving parts
have come to a dead stop.
The power or extension cable must be separated from the
supply mains immediately if they are damaged during use. Do
not touch the cable before it is disconnected from mains. Do
not use the machine if the cable is damaged or worn.
Thoroughly maintain your garden vac:
−
Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
−
Pay attention to that the ventilation slots for the motor
cooling are free (risk of overheating).
−
Keep handles dry and free of oils and grease.
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 movable parts function perfectly and do
not stick or whether 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; insofar
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.
Maintain the machine with care and keep it clean.
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
2
for cable lengths over 25 m
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 material 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.
Do not drive the device across the extension cable. Make sure
that it is behind you in a secure position. Place the cable on a
path or area that has already been thatched.
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 apparatus,
cookers, fridges etc.).
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 especially
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).
The electrical connection or repairs to electrical parts of
the machine must be carried out by a certified
electrician or one of our customer service points. Local
regulations – especially regarding protective measures
– must be observed.
Damaged mains leads must be replaced by the
manufacturer or one of their service workshops or a
similar qualified person to prevent dangers.
Repairs to other parts of the machine must be carried
out by the manufacturer or one of his customer service
points.
Use only original spare parts. Accidents can arise for the
user through the use of other spare parts. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such action.
Behaviour in an emergency situation
Initiate all required first aid measures suited for the injury
and seek qualified medical advice as quickly as possible.
Protect the injured person against further injuries and
immobilise the injured person.
