Safety Precautions

IMPORTANT (for owners in the U.K.) Connection to the mains supply in the United Kingdom. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.

If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or contact the local dealers in your area.

BE SURE to replace the fuse only with

an identical approved type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover. If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off be sure to remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. If this product is not supplied fitted with a mains plug then follow the instructions given below:

DO NOT make any connection to the

Larger Terminal coded E or Green. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

If these colours do not correspond with the terminal identifications of your plug, connect as follows: Blue wire to terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured black. Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured Red. If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.

CAUTIONS:



To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

The plastics packaging bags may cause suffocation when they are covered over the head. Tear them open, and keep them away from the reach of infants and children by ensuring that they are disposed of properly.

Battery Pack

The battery pack is a lithium-ion battery. Before using the battery pack, be sure to read the following cautions:

 To avoid hazards

... do not burn. ... do not short-circuit the

terminals. Keep it away from metallic objects when not in use. When transporting, carry the battery in a plastic bag.

... do not modify or disassemble. ... do not expose the battery to

temperatures exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery to overheat, explode or catch fire.

... use only specified chargers.

Terminals

 To prevent damage and prolong

service life

... do not subject to unnecessary shock. ... charge within the temperature range

of 10°C to 30°C. Cooler temperatures require longer charging time, or in some cases stop charging at all. Warmer temperatures prevent complete charging, or in some cases stop charging at all.

... store in a cool, dry place. Extended

exposure to high temperatures will increase natural discharge and shorten service life.

... keep a 30% battery level if the

battery pack is not to be used for a long period of time.

... remove from charger or powered unit

when not in use, as some machines use current even when switched off.

... do not drop or subject to strong

impact.
