at the same time make sure you can control and
see the other people so as to maintain an adequate
working distance between users to guarantee security.
Maintain the workng area clean and work with good
light. Untidy working areas and dark conditions can

Inspect the working area and remove all stones, wood,
cables and strange objects that could be touched and
propelled by the moving parts of the machine.

2.4. ELECTRICAL SECURITY

Connect this machine to alternate current 230v/50Hz.
The electrical switch of this machine must coincide
with the mains switch. Do not modify the switch in
any way. If no parts have been modified and they fit
perfectly, there will be no electric shock accidents.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as
tubes, radiators, electric kitchens and refrigerators.
There is a higher electric shock possibility if your body
is earthed.
Do not expose this machine to rain and
wet and humid conditions. If water enters
the machine there will be a higher risk of
electrc shock.
Do not touch cables and switches with wet hands.
Do not overstretch the cable. Do not use the cable
to transport the machine, lift the machine and to
unplug the machine. Maintain the cable far away
from heat sources, oil, sharp edges or other moving
parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
Never use this machine if the cable or the plug are
damaged. Before connecting the machine check
that the cable and the plug are not damaged. If you
discover that either of these elements are damaged,
take your machine to your nearest after sales
dealer. Should the cable be damaged, unplug the
machine inmediately. Damaged or tangled cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
Any work carried out on the cable and the plug must
be done by an authorised after sales dealer.
We recommend that the machine is connected a
residual differential current less than or equal to
30mA. You must check the differential prior to using
the machine.
Never use a connecting base that is damaged or that
does not comply with current normatives or with the
requisites established for this machine in this manual.
When using a cable extension, make sure that its
minimum section is 2,5mm2 and no longer than 25
metres, always unrolled and adequate for outdoor use.
The use of the cable extension adequate for outdoor
use, reduces the risk of electric shock.
Place the cable extension in such a way that it will not
get caught in branches or other obstacles and in such
a way that it is not in the working area. The cable and
any extensions must always be behind the machine
and the end user.
Maintain the cable well clear of the cutting element at
all times.
Do not use this machine if the ¨open¨ and ¨closed¨
switch does not work. Any electric machine that
cannot be controlled by the electric switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Always disconnect the machine before carrying
