impact-resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.

tool and is in a safe electrical condition.
• Ensure your mains supply voltage is same as indicated on the rating plate.
• Our tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
•
Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and pipes.
