ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
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
better control of the appliance in
unexpected situations.
uDress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
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

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.

ENGLISH (Original instructions)
uWhen operating an appliance
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the
