ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power plugs must match the outlet. Never

any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.

Do not operate the product when there is a
risk of lightning.

Do not expose the product to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering an appliance

Before every use, examine the power cord
for damage. If there are signs of damage,
it must be replaced by a qualified person
at an authorised service centre to avoid
a hazard. Always uncoil the power cord
during use, coiled cables can overheat.

If you need to use an extension cable
ensure it is suitable for outdoor use and

equivalent type.
