General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all
safety warnings and all in-
structions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions
for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) This product is not intended for
use by persons (including chil-
dren) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and know-
ledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the
product by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the
product. Local regulations may
restrict the age of the operator.
Never allow children or people
unfamiliar with these instruc-
tionstousetheproduct.Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
b) Never operate the product while
people, especially children, or
pets are nearby. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
c) Never blow debris in the direc-
tion of bystanders. The operator or
user is responsible for accidents or
hazards occurring to other people or
their property.
d) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
e) Do not operate power tools in ex-
plosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable li-
quids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adaptor
plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Use only on AC
mains supply voltage shown on
the product rating label. Unmodi-
fied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed
or grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refri-
gerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase
the risk electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Before
use, examine cord for damage.
Replace cord if there are signs of
damage or ageing. Do not use the
product if the cord is damaged or
worn. Immediately disconnect
from the mains electricity supply
if the cord is cut, or the insulation
is damaged. Do not touch the
electric cord until the electrical
supply has been disconnected.
Do not repair a cut or damaged
cord. Replace it with a new one.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.

4
e) The electric cord must be un-
coiled. Coiled cord can overheat
and reduce the efficiency of the
product. Always wind cord carefully,
avoiding kinks.
f) When operating a power tool out-
doors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use fitted
with a coupler according to IEC
60320-2-3. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
g) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply with a
tripping current of not more than
30 mA. Even with a RCD in-
stalled, 100% safety cannot be
guaranteed and safe working
practices must be followed at all
times. Check your RCD every
time you use your product. Use
of an RCD reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion and hearing protection. To
prevent dust irritation, the use of
a dusk mask in recommended.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non--skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensuretheswitchisintheoff
position before connecting to
power source, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
On slopes, be extra careful and
wear non--slip footwear. Do not
walk backwards while operating
your product. Walk, never run.
Do not use ladders while operat-
ing the product.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situ-
ations.
e) Dress properly. Always wear
suitable clothing, gloves, and
stout shoes. 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Only use the product in the man-
ner and for the functions de-
scribed in these instructions.
Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b) Always make sure your product
is in a safe operating condition
before use. Do not use the power
tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Know how to stop the
product quickly in an emergency.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) The impeller continues to rotate
after your product has been
switched off. The motor must be
stopped and the impeller blade no
longer turning to avoid serious in-
jury from the rotating blades.
d) Disconnect the plug from the
power source:
-- before removing or replacing
fully assembled debris bag;
-- before leaving the product unat
tended for any period;
-- before clearing a blockage;
-- before checking, cleaning or
working on the appliance;
-- if the product starts to vibrate
abnormally. Check immediately.
Excessive vibration can cause
injury.
-- before passing to another person.
e) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
f) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tool’s operation.

5
If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Keep all
cooling air inlets clear of debris.
Many accidents are caused by poor-
ly maintained power tools.
g) Use the power tool and accessor-
ies in accordance with these in-
structions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use the product
only in daylight or good artificial
light. Use of the power tool for oper-
ations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Maintenance and storage
Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
-- Keep all nuts, bolts and screws
tight to be sure the product is in a
safe working condition.
