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.
• Increased safety can be obtained by having a
qualified electrician install a high sensitivity (30mA)
circuit breaker in the house wiring. If you do not have
such a circuit breaker installed, or you do not wish
to have one installed, then we strongly recommend
that the electric power to your mower be supplied
through a high sensitivity residual current device
(RCD). The RCD is designed to provide a high degree
of personal protection against harmful electric
current should fault conditions occur.
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.
