an electrician to select and install this safety device;
• Do not use the equipment b
arefoot, in wet or very humid places, do not touch metal surfaces such as pipes,
motors, gutters, fences, windows, doors, metal gates, etc, this increases the risk of electric shock;
• Before cleaning or performing maintenance, disconnect the machine from the electrical network;
• Never use extension cords that don’t meet the specifications (see INSTALLATION chapter), they must not bear
splices. The non-compliance with these instructions might compromise the operation of the drill: voltage
