Using your appliance
uAlways take care when using the
appliance.
uKeep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
uOnly use the appliance in daylight or
good articial light.
uDo not operate your appliance in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases
or dust.
uNever allow children or people
unfamiliar with the instructions to use
the appliance, local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
uDo not allow children or animals to
come near the work area or touch the
appliance supply cord.
uKeep children, bystanders and animals
away while operating an appliance.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
uThe appliance is not to be used as a
toy.
uDo not immerse the appliance in water.
uDo not open body casing. There are
no user serviceable parts inside.
Personal safety
uStay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when
operating an appliance. Do not use an
appliance while you are tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention
while operating an appliance may
result in serious personal injury.
uWhere required, use personal
protective equipment.
Protective equipment such as eye
protection, dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
uPrevent unintentional starting. Make
sure that the switch is in the off
position before connecting to a power
source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the appliance.
Carrying appliances with your nger
on the switch or energising appliances
that have the switch on invites
accidents.
uDo not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables

ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
Appliance use and care
uBefore use, check the appliance for
damaged or defective parts.
Check for breakage of parts, damage
to switches and any other conditions
that may affect its operation.
uDo not use the appliance if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any
appliance that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
uDisconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing appliances. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
uWhere applicable, keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
uDo not use the appliance if any part is
damaged or defective.
uHave any damaged or defective parts
repaired or replaced by an authorised
repair agent.
uNever attempt to remove or replace
any parts other than those specied in
this manual.
Electrical safety
uAppliance plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) appliance.
Unmodied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
uDo not expose appliance to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a appliance
will increase the risk of electric shock.
uDo not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the appliance. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
uWhen operating an appliance
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
uIf operating an appliance in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a Residual
Current Device (RCD) protected
supply. Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
After Use
uWhen not in use, the appliance should
be stored in a dry, well ventilated place
out of the reach of children.
uChildren should not have access to
stored appliances.
uWhen the appliance is stored or
transported in a vehicle it should be
placed in the boot or restrained to
prevent movement following sudden
changes in speed or direction.
Service
uHave your appliance serviced by a
qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
