Electrical safety:
• Make sure that the mains volta-
ge is compatible with the infor-
mation of the label.
• Connect the device, as far as
possible, only to a plug socket
with a ground-fault circuit inter-
rupter (g.f.c.i switch), with a ra-
ted residual current at not more
than 30 mA.
• Check the device and the pow-
er cable with plug for damage
before every use. Avoid bodily
contact with grounded parts
(e.g. metal fences, metal post).
• The coupling of the extension
cord must be protected against
splashed water, it must consist
of rubber or be surrounded by
rubber. Employ only extensi-
on cords which are stipulated
for use in the open air and are
marked accordingly. The flexible
lead cross-section of the exten-
sion cord must at least 2.5 mm
Always roll out the cable drum
completely before use. Check
the cable for damage.
• Keep the cable away from the
field of action and basically play
it out behind the operator.
• Use the tension relief provided
for the fixing of the extension
cord.
• Do not carry the device by the
cable. Do not use the cable to
pull out the plug from the plug
socket. Protect the cable against
heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Damaged cables, coupling and
plugs or connecting leads not
corresponding to specifications,
must not be employed. Remove
the plug immediately from the
plug socket in case of damage
to the mains cable.
Do not touch the mains power
supply cable under any circum-
stances until you have pulled
the plug out of the mains so-
cket.
• If the power cable for this equip-
ment 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.
• Do not use the appliance if the
on/off switch does not work pro-
perly. Always have a damaged
switch repaired by our Service
Centre.
• Do not overload your device.
Work only within the indicated
range of performance. Do not
employ any low power machi-
nes for heavy work. Do not use
your device for purposes for
which it has not been designed.
.
• Before each use, check the
2
power supply lead and the ex-
tension cable for damage and
ageing. Do not use the equip-
ment if the cable is damaged or
worn.
• After they have been joined to-
gether, the blower tubes cannot
be taken apart again!
