2. Usage safety
Electrical equipment:
ATTENTION! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury or even death.
Whenever "device" or "product" are used in the warnings
and instructions, it shall mean twist-a-saw. Do not use in
very humid environments or in the direct vicinity of water
tanks. Prevent the device from getting wet. Risk of electric
shock! Do not cover air inlets / outlets. When in use, do
not put your hands or other items inside the device! Do
not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure.
3.1 Electrical safety
a) The plug has to fit the socket. Do not modify the
plug in any way. Using original plugs and matching
sockets reduces the risk of electric shock.
and
b) Avoid touching earthed elements such as pipes,
heaters, boilers and fridges. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if the earthed device is exposed to
rain, in direct contact with a wet surface or operating
in a humid environment. Water ingression into the
device increases the risk of damage to the device and
of electric shock.
c) Use the cable only in accordance with its designated
use. Never use it to carry the device or to pull the
plug out of a socket. Keep the cable away from heat
sources, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
d) If working with the device outside, make sure to use
an extension lead suitable for external use. Using an
extension lead suitable for external use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
e) If using the device in a humid environment cannot
be avoided, a residual current device (RCD) should
be applied. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.

3.2 Safety at the workplace
a) Make sure the workplace is orderly and well
lit. A messy or poorly lit workplace may lead to
accidents. Try to anticipate what may happen,

b) Do not use the device if the ON/OFF switch does not
function properly (does not switch the device on and
off). Devices which cannot be switched on and off
using the ON/OFF switch are hazardous, should not
be operated and have to be repaired.
c) Make sure the plug is disconnected from the
socket before attempting any adjustments, tool
replacements or before putting the device aside.
d) When not in use, store in a safe place, away from
children and people not familiar with the device, who
have not read the user manual. The device may pose
a hazard in the hands of inexperienced users.
e) Maintain the device in a good technical state. Before
