1.2.1- Initial preparation before operation
- When you operate the machine, always wear full-length
trousers, as well as sturdy, closed footwear that provide
good support. Do NOT operate the machine wearing
shorts, when barefoot or wearing open sandals!
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can be
drawn into the inlet. Keep long hair away from the inlet.
Under no circumstances should jewellery, any other body
ornamentation, or loose clothing be worn while operating
the tool as these items could be drawn into the suction
orifice. Avoid wearing clothing that is loose fitting or that
has hanging cords or ties.
When working outdoors, rubber gloves and non-slip
footwear should always be worn.
If you have long hair, put it in a hair net.
- Wear protective equipment and always wear protective
goggles while operating the tool.
Wearing protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-slip footwear, protective gloves, a helmet and/or
hearing protection (depending on the type and application
of the electrical device concerned) reduces the risk of
injury.
- When performing work that generates dust, wear a dust
protective mask to prevent dust irritation.
- Each time before you use the machine, check the
integrity of the product’s power cord and your own
extension cord for signs of damage and ageing. Do not
use the machine if the cord is damaged or worn. The
product should only be operated when its accessories are
in perfect working order.
