General
1. Consider work area environment
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the
tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work
area well lit. Do not use the tool where there is
a risk of causing fire or explosion, i.e. in the
presence of flammable liquids and gases. Keep
the work area free from debris and obstacles.
2. Keep children away
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to
come near the work area or to touch the tool
or mains cable.
3. Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as
these can be caught in moving parts.
Preferably wear rubber gloves and non-slip
footwear when working outdoors. Wear
protective hair covering to keep long hair out
of the way.
4. Personal protection
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust
mask whenever the operations may produce
dust or flying particles. Wear ear protection
whenever the sound level seems
uncomfortable.
5. Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces (e.g. metal railings, lamp-posts etc.).
Electric safety can be further improved by using
a high-sensitivity (30 mA/30 mS) residual current
device (RCD).

11.Use appropriate tool
The intended use is described in this instruction

attachment or performance of any operation
with this tool other than those recommended
in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury.
12.Check for damaged parts
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains
cable for damage. Check for misalignment and
seizure of moving parts, breakage of parts,
damage to guards and switches and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. Ensure
that the tool will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Do not use the tool if any
part is damaged or defective. Do not use the
tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or
replaced by an authorised repair agent. Never
attempt any repairs yourself. If the supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised
repair agent in order to avoid a hazard.
