Safety Information
Electricity (Continued)
• Power tools plug 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.
• DO NOT expose this power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil and sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the electric circuit is fused, and that the power,
voltage and frequency of the motor is supported by your mains supply. Also, make
sure that your power supply is earthed. Connect your machine to earth. Never
open the ON/OFF switchbox. However, if it should become necessary to do so,
contact a qualified electrician. Make sure that you will never touch live contacts,
specifically when you plug or unplug your machine. This machine and its power
cord must never get into contact with water.
• 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.
•
To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. For additional protection, the installation of a residual current device (RCD)
having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA is advisable.
•
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, make sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
•
Do not allow any part of the machine to make contact with water while it is in
operation. If the appliance becomes wet while turned off, wipe dry before starting.
Do not touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands or while standing in water.
Wearing rubber boots offers some protection.
•
Before use, check the supply and extension cord for signs of damage or aging. If
the cord becomes damaged during use, disconnect the cord from the supply
immediately. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Double-Insulated Appliances
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means that it is already provided on a double-insulated
appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be performed only by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must be identical
to the parts they replace.
