Electrical safety instructions
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite
liquids, gases, or dust.
The power supply must match the technical
specifications of the power tool. The power cord
must be plugged into a socket with differential
protection.
The circuit breaker must be set to trip when a fault
current is detected.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or use it in wet or
moist environments. The presence of water in a power
tool increases the risk of damage and electric shock to
the user.
Never use the power cord to pull, carry or unplug the
power tool. Damaged power cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
Keep the power cord and plug away from heat sources,
oil and sharp objects. Check the condition of the power
cord regularly, if it is damaged, it must be replaced or
repaired by a qualified technician.
