PLUGS & CABLES
Prior to carrying out any maintenance work you MUST
identify electrical isolation methods and isolate all elec-
trical supplies.
Prior to use and with all electrical supplies isolated, you
MUST check all electrical cables, plugs and connectors
for the following -
Are intact and have no signs of damage, to include but
not limited to bare wires, chang, cuts and loose wiring.
If there are any signs of damage, the damaged item
MUST be taken out of service until the damage has been
repaired by an electrically competent person.
All trailing cables should be routed so as not to cause any
kind of trip hazard.
NEVER work on or near electricity with wet hands, wet
clothing and wet gloves.
Power tools plug must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way.
DO NOT use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
DO NOT expose this power tool to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock. DO NOT abuse the power cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the electric circuit is fused,
and that the power, voltage and frequency of the motor
is supported by your mains supply. Also, make sure that
your power supply is earthed. Connect your machine to
earth.
Never open the ON/OFF switch-box. However, if it should
become necessary to do so, contact a qualied electri-
cian. Make sure that you will never touch live contacts,
specically when you plug or unplug your machine. This
machine and its power cord must never get into contact
with water.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
To prevent electric shock, use only with an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. For additional protection,
the installation of a residual current device (RCD) having
a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA
is advisable.
Before use, check that the extension cord is in good con-
dition. When using an extension cord, make sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
DO NOT allow any part of the machine to make con-
tact with water while it is in operation. If the appliance
becomes wet while turned o, wipe dry before starting.
DO NOT touch the appliance or its plug with wet hands
or while standing in water. Wearing rubber boots oers
some protection.
Before use, check the supply and extension cord for
signs of damage or aging. If the cord becomes damaged
during use, disconnect the cord from the supply immedi-
ately. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or a qualied person in order to
avoid a hazard.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
