Electrical safety rules
ATTENTION! When using electrical tools, the
following safety instructions should be observed to
prevent the risk of electric shock, personal injury
and fire. Read and observe these instructions
carefully before using the tool.
∙ It is recommended for increased electrical safety
to use a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping
current of not more than 30 mA. Always check your RCD
every time you use it. Consult a reliable electrician.
WARNING! The use of an RCD or
other circuit breaker unit does not
release the operator from the safety
instructions and safe working
practices given in this manual.
∙
The main voltage must correspond to the one
marked on the labels and on this manual. Do not use
other sources of power.
∙ Before inserting the plug in the main socket, make
sure that the socket ratings are correct and correspond
to those indicated on the rating label on the appliance.
∙
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. This increases
risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
CAUTION! Touching electrified parts
may cause death by electric shock or
burn.
∙ Never move the appliance by pulling at the cables.
∙ Do not abuse the cord. Keep it away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
