Personal safety
u 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 inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating an appliance may result in serious personal
injury.
u Where required, use personal protective equipment. Pro-
tective equipment such as eye protection, dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
u Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to a power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying appliances with your nger on the switch
or energising appliances that have the switch on invites
accidents.
u Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the appliance in
unexpected situations.
u 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
u Before use, check the appliance for damaged or defective
parts. Check for breakage of parts, damage to switches
and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
u 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.
u 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.
u 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.
u Do not use the appliance if any part is damaged or defec-
tive.
u Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or replaced
by an authorised repair agent.
u Never attempt to remove or replace any parts other than
those specied in this manual.

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

u Do not expose appliance to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a appliance will increase the risk of electric
shock.
u 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.

cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

able, use a Residual Current Device (RCD) protected
