• Only use recommended accessories. Refer to the instruction manual to check the recommended
accessories. Improper use of accessories can cause a risk of accident.
•
Never step on the tool. A serious accident can occur if the tool is tilted or if the tool is touched
accidentally.
• Check for damaged parts before continuing to use the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
must be carefully examined to determine its proper functioning and perform its function properly.
Check the alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, assembly and any other condition that
may affect its operation. Any part that is damaged must be repaired or replaced immediately. Do
not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off.
•
Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn off the ignition key. The engines of these tools can
emit sparks and explode flammable gases.
• Extension cords: Make sure your extension is in good condition, make sure you are able to
transmit the electrical current used by your product. An undersized cable will cause a voltage
drop resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to be
used depending on the cable diameter and the amperage rating. If in doubt, use a cable with a
higher capacity level. IMPORTANT: Do not use extensions over 20 meters in length.
