Electrical safety:
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries due to
electric shock:
• Before each usage, check the mains pow-
er cable and the extension cable for dam-
age and signs of aging. Do not use the
device if the cable is damaged or worn.
Damaged mains power cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Always keep the extension cable well
away from the cutting tools.
Should the power cable become damaged
during work, then instantly disconnect the
power cable from the mains. DO NOT
TOUCH THE POWER CABLE BEFORE
IT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM
THE MAINS! Risk of electric shock.
• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent of
the same or a similarly qualified person in
order to prevent hazards.
• Check that the mains voltage is the same
as indicated on the rating plate.
• Connect the equipment to a power socked
with a residual-current circuit breaker
that has a rated current of not more than
30 mA.
• Protect the equipment from moisture. The
equipment must not be moist nor oper
-
ated in a moist environment. Water entry
into the equipment increases the risk of
electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed parts
(e.g. metal fences, metal posts). There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed.
• Only use extension cables with a maxi-
mum length of 75 m that have been ap-
proved for open-air use. The stranded
cord diameter of the extension cable must
be at least 2.5 mm
2
. Always unreel a ca-
ble drum to its full length so that the entire
cable can be inspected for damage.
• Never pass an operating equipment over
the extension cable. Ensure that the
power cable is always trailing behind the
operator. The extension cable can be ac
-
cidentally severed.
• Use the envisaged cable suspensions
when attaching an extension cable.
• Never carry the equipment by its power
cable. Never pull the cable to disconnect
the plug from the mains socket. Protect
the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
The mains power cable could be dam
-
aged.
