Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Additional safety rules for garden vacs
Always wear adequate protective clothing when operating
the tool to avoid injuries to face, eyes, hands, feet, head
or hearing. Use safety glasses or a face shield, high
boots or sturdy shoes, long trousers, work gloves, a hard
hat and earmuffs.
Do not start the tool when it is upside down or when it is
not in the operating position.
Switch the motor off and remove the plug when the tool
is not being used, left unattended, being cleaned, being
moved from one place to another or when the extension
cord is entangled or damaged.
Do not operate the tool near people, especially children
or pets. Turn it off if they get too close. Maintain a safe
distance of at least 5m from other people when using
the tool.
The operator is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property.
Do not handle the plug or the tool with wet hands and do
not use the tool in the rain.
Use only outdoor rated extension leads that are so
marked. Keep the extension cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
Ensure that the extension lead is secured in a manner
that prevents it from disconnecting from the plug whilst
in use.
Keep all the air intakes and the vacuum inlet free of dust,
lint, hair and other material that may cause a reduction in
air flow.
Keep a balanced and stable stance while using the tool.
Do not switch on the tool in enclosed or poorly ventilated
spaces or in the presence of inflammable and/or
explosive substances such as liquids, gasses
and powders.
