Electrical safety
ŸConnect the device only to an electrical supply of
characteristics in accordance with the information on the
data plate.
ŸThe power tool plugs must match the power sockets. Never
alter the power cord plug in any way. Unmodified plugs
andsuitable electrical sockets reduce the risk of an electric
shock.
ŸAvoid touching grounded or shorted to ground surfaces such
as piping, radiators, radiators and refrigerators. If parts that
are grounded or shorted to ground are touched, the risk of
electric shock increases.
ŸDo not expose electric devices to rain or humid conditions. If
water enters the power tool, the risk of an electric
shockincreases.
ŸDo not tighten the connection cables. Never use the
connection cable to carry, pull electrical equipment or
pullthe plug out of the socket. Keep the connection cable
away from heat sources, oils, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled connection cables increase the risk of
an electric shock.
ŸBefore starting the work, check the power cord before
starting the work. Do not operate if the power cord or
extension cord is abraded, cut or otherwise damaged. If the
power cord is damaged during use, switch off the device and
unplug it from the socket.
ŸIf the power tool is used outdoors, the connection cables
should be extended with waterproof extension cords
designed to operate outdoors. Using such an extension cord
reduces the risk of an electric shock. The cross-section area of
the extension cord conductors should be at least 1.5 mm²
when the length of the cable is less than 20 m, and if the
length of the cable is between 20 and 50 m, the minimum
cross-section is 2.5 mm².
ŸA residual current protection device (RCD) must be used as
protection against shock from the supply voltage. Using the
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. The equipment should
be supplied through an RCD with a rated current not
exceeding 30 mA.
