electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this product.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this product for future reference.
This electrical equipment has been designed for 230V and 240V only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this
electrical equipment. Before use, inspect the extension lead for signs of damage,
wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective. When using
an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an
extension lead not suitable for the power input of the equipment or which is
damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
1. Keep work areas clean. Cluttered work areas and benches can cause accidents.
2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose your equipment to high
humidity or rain. Do not use your equipment in damp or wet conditions. Keep
the work area well lit. Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing fire
or explosion, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids and gases.
3. Keep children away. Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near
the work area or to touch the equipment or accessories.
4. Dress appropriately. Wear the appropriate protective clothing. Wear a protective
hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
5. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces. Electrical safety can be further improved by using a high sensitivity
(30 mA / 30 mS) residual current device (RCD).
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
7. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
