a fire or explosion.
•
Store the equipment in a dry place that
is not accessible to children.
CAUTION! The following states how
damage to the equipment and possi-
ble injury to people can be avoided:
Taking care of the equipment:
•
Ensure that the ventilation openings are
not clogged.
•
Only use spare parts and accessories
that have been supplied or recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
•
Never try to repair the equipment your-
self. All work that has not been listed in
these Instructions must only be carried
out by an authorised servicing agency.
•
Treat the equipment with the greatest
care. Always keep the equipment clean
for better and safer work. Follow the
maintenance instructions.
•
Never overload the equipment. Always
work within the stated capacity range.
Do not use low-power machines for
heavy-duty work. Do not operate the
equipment for purposes for which it is
not intended.
•
Always inspect the equipment before it
is to be used. Do not operate the equip-
ment if safety devices, parts of the cut-
ting device or bolts are missing, worn
out or damaged.
Electrical safety:
CAUTION! The following states how
to avoid accidents and injuries due
to electric shock:
•
Before each usage, check the mains
power cable and the extension cable
for damage and signs of aging. Do not
use the device if the cable is damaged
or worn. Damaged mains power cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
•
Always keep the extension cable well
away from the cutting tools.
Should the power cable become
damaged during work, then instantly
disconnect the power cable from the
mains. DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER
CABLE BEFORE IT HAS BEEN DIS-
CONNECTED FROM THE MAINS!
Risk of electric shock.
•
If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent hazards.
•
Check that the mains voltage is the
same as indicated on the rating plate.
•
Connect the equipment to a power
socked with a residual-current circuit
breaker that has a rated current of not
more than 30 mA.
•
Protect the equipment from moisture.
The equipment must not be moist nor
operated in a moist environment. Water
entry into the equipment increases the
risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed parts
(e.g. metal fences, metal posts). There
is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
•
Only use extension cables with a
maximum length of 75 m that have
been approved for open-air use. The
stranded cord diameter of the exten-
sion cable must be at least 2.5 mm
Always unreel a cable drum to its full
length so that the entire cable can be
inspected for damage.
•
Never pass an operating equipment
over the extension cable. Ensure that
the power cable is always trailing be-
hind the operator. The extension cable
can be accidentally severed.
