General appliance safety warnings

Warning! When using mains-

!

powered/cordless appliances,
basic safety precautions,
including the following, should

always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury
and material damage.

◆ Read all of this manual carefully

before using the appliance.

◆ The intended use is described in this

manual. The use of any accessory or
attachment or t

he performance of
any operation with this appliance
other than those recommended in
this instruction manual may present
a risk of personal injury.

The term "appliance" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
appliance or battery-operated (cordless)
appliance.

Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.

Using your appliance

Always take care when using the
appliance.

◆

Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.

◆ Only use the appliance in daylight or

good artificial light.

◆ Do not operate your appliance in

explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust.

◆ Never allow children or people

unfamiliar with the instructions to use
the appliance.

◆ Do not allow children or animals to

come near the work area or touch the
appliance supply cord.

◆ Keep children, bystanders and

animals away while operating an
appliance. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

◆

The appliance is not to be used as a
toy.

◆ Do not immerse the appliance in

water.

◆

Do not open body casing. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside.

Personal safety

◆ Stay alert, watch what you are doing

and use common sense when
operating an appliance. Do not use
an appliance while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating an
appliance may result in serious
personal injury.

◆ Where required, use personal

protective equipment. 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.

◆ Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the off­position before connecting to power
source and/or bat

tery pack, picking
up or carrying the appliance.
Carrying appliances with your finger
on the switch or energising
appliances that have the switch on
invites accidents.

◆ Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the
appliance in unexpected situations.

◆ Dress 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

◆ Before use, check the appliance for

damaged or defective parts. Check
for breakage of

parts, damage to

4

ENGLISH

switches and any other conditions
that may affect its operation.
Do 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.
Disconnect 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.
Where applicable, keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
Do not use the appliance if any part
is damaged or defective.
Have any damaged or defective
parts repaired or replaced by an
authorised repair agent.
Never attempt to remove or replace
any parts other than those specified
in this manual.

Electrical safety

Appliance plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) appliance.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Do not expose appliance to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
appliance will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do 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.
When operating an appliance
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
If operating an appliance in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
Residual Current Device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.

Battery tool use and care (cordless
appliance only)

Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer. A
charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery
pack.
Use appliances only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use,
keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal
objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may
be ejected from the battery; avoid
contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.

After use

When not in use, the appliance
should be stored in a dry, well
ventilated place out of the reach of
children.
Children should not have access to
stored appliances.
When the appliance is stored or
transported in a vehicle it should be
placed in the boot or restrained to
prevent movement following sudden
changes in speed or direction.
