ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
u Where required, use personal protec-
tive 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 inju-
ries.
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 ap-
pliances 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 unex-
pected 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 af-
fect its operation.
u Do not use the appliance if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any appli-
ance 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 defective.
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 specied in
this manual.
Electrical safety
u Appliance plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) appliance. Unmodied
plugs and 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.
