any assembly and operating instructions.

Keep the manual for future reference.

Safety precautions and recommendations

detailed here must be fully understood

and followed to reduce the risk of injury,

fire, explosion, electrical hazard, and/or

property damage.

Safety information presented here is

generic in nature – some advice may not

be applicable to every product. The term

"equipment" refers to the product, be it

electrical mains powered, battery

powered or combustion engine powered.

•Before Use - If you are not familiar with

the safe operation/handling of the

equipment, or are in any way unsure of

any aspect of suitability or correct use

for your application, you should

complete training conducted by a

person or organization qualified in safe

use and operation of this equipment,

including fuel/electrical handling and

safety.

•Do NOT operate the equipment in

flammable or explosive environments,

such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. The equipment

may create sparks or heat that may

ignite flammable substances.

•Keep clear of moving parts.

•Equipment may be a potential source

of electric shock or injury if misused.

•Do NOT operate the equipment if it is

damaged, malfunctioning or is in an

excessively worn state.

dust extraction / collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and used

properly. Dust collection can reduce

dust-related hazards.

General Personal Safety

•Wear appropriate protective equipment

when operating, servicing, or when in

the operating area of the equipment to

help protect from eye and ear injury,

poisoning, burns, cutting and crush

injuries. Protective equipment such as

safety goggles, respirators, non-slip

safety footwear, hard hat, hearing

protection etc should be used for

appropriate equipment / conditions.
