Avid Power ACIW124, Operator'S Manual

„

Carefully select an extension lead.

 Some machines are not suitable for use with 

extension leads. If the tool is designed for outdoor use, use an extension lead also 
suitable for that environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable 
of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead 
regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess current 
(amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result 
in fire.

„

Concentrate and stay alert.

 Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never 

operate a power tool if you are under the influence of drugs, including alcohol or if you 
are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.

„

Have this tool repaired by a qualified person.

 This tool is designed to conform to 

the relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and 
repaired by someone qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. 
This will ensure the tool remains safe to use.
