Safety instructions for the user:
−
Protect yourself against electric shocks. Avoid body contact with surfaces connected to earth (as
for example: pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators).
−
Keep children away. Do not permit people to touch the tool or the cable: keep them away from
your working area.
−
Wear appropriate working clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as they can be caught
in moving parts. When working outside, it is recommended to wear rubber gloves and shoes with
antislip soles. In case of long hair, wear a hair net.
−
Wear protective goggles. Also wear a mask if the work being executed produces dust.
−
Do not increase your radius of action too much, avoid adopting a position inducing body fatigue
and ensure that your support from the ground is solid and will maintain your balance at all times.
−
Be attentive at all times. Observe your work, act in accordance with good sense and do not use
the tool when you are tired.
