ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Ŷ Power plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the

earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Ŷ Avoid unintentional starting. Always check that the

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Ŷ Do not expose this product to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering the product will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Ŷ Electrical power should be supplied via a residual

Ŷ Before every use, examine the power cord for damage.
If there are signs of damage, it must be replaced by at
an authorised service centre. Always uncoil the power
cord during use; coiled cables can overheat.
Ŷ If you need to use an extension cord ensure it is suitable
for outdoor use and has a current capacity rating
sufficient to supply your tool. The extension cord cable
should be marked with either “H05 RN F” or “H05 VV F”.
Check the extension cord before every use for damage.
