INSTALLATION
!
IMPORTANT! The manufacturer is not liable for any
direct and/or indirect damage caused by incorrect elec-
trical connections.
!
IMPORTANT! Before you perform the following steps,
make sure that the plug is disconnected from the AC
power supply.
!
IMPORTANT! Wear protective gloves.
TRANSPORT
Always use the packaging when transporting the tool; this
will protect it from impact, dust and humidity which can
compromise normal operation.
Shorten the length of the extension pole (pos. 6) to its
minimum length and slip the bar cover protection (pos. 15).
HANDLING
Always carry the tool with the engine off. Hold the tool with
both hands using both hand grips (pos.2-5), carry it by your
side, with the bar facing downwards and away from your body.
Keep it raised off the ground and do not let the tip drag on
the ground. Due to its considerable length, make sure you
do not hit feet, legs, persons or objects.
After use, set the tool down carefully without dropping it,
with the fuel tank cap facing upwards; avoid setting the tool
down on sloped inclines or on vehicles as it could roll off and
fall. Never set the tip on the ground, to prevent the bar from
bending until it becomes permanently deformed.
SWITCHING ON
When choosing where to use the power tool, the following
should be considered:
- the area must not be damp and there is no bad weather.
- the working area is sufficiently large and free from obstacles.
- the area is well lit.
- the tool is used close to the main differential switch.
- the power supply system is earthed and conforms with
standards (only if the power tool is Class I, and equipped
with a plug with earth cable).
- room temperature is between 10° and 35° C.
- the environment is not in a flammable/explosive atmosphere.
- there are no overhead power lines.
Take out the tool and its components and visually check
that they are perfectly intact; then proceed to thoroughly
clean them.
