Electrical safety
WARNING! There is always a risk of
!
shocks from electrically powered
machines. Avoid unfavourable weather
conditions and body contact with
lightning conductors and metal objects.
Always follow the instructions in the
Operator's manual to avoid damage.
Never connect the machine to a outlet if
plug or cord is damaged.
WARNING! When cleaning the machine
!
make sure to avoid water entering the
electrical system and the motor unit.
Water can cause damage to the machine
or short circuit.
•
Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that
stated on the rating plate on the machine.
•
Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out
with the motor switched off and the plug disconnected.
•
Always shut down the machine before disconnecting
the power plug.
•
Never drag the machine by means of the cord and
never pull out the plug by pulling the cord. Hold the
plug to disconnect the power cord.
•
Never use the machine if any cable or plug is
damaged, but hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
•
Always connect the machine through an ground fault
circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an
ground fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground
fault of 30 mA.
•
Prevent unintentional starting of the motor. Ensure the
power switch is in the OFF-position before connecting
the machine to a power source.
Grounding instructions
WARNING! Improper connection can
!
result in the risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified electrician if in doubt
as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the
outlet have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure local
regulations and ordinances are followed.
If the grounding instructions are not fully
understood contact a qualified
electrician.
•
The machine is equipped with a grounded cord and
plug and should always be connected to a grounded
outlet. This reduces the risk of electric shock in the
event of malfunction.

OPERATING
Extension cords and cables
•
The marking on the extension cable must be the same
or higher than the value stated on the machine's rating
plate.
•
Use grounded extension cables.
•
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
•
Keep the connection to the extension cord dry and off
the ground.
•
Keep cable away from heat, oil, charp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cable increase
the risk of electric shock.
•
Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and
in good condition. Never use the machine if any cable
or plug is damaged, but hand it in to an authorized
service workshop for repair.
•
To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord
while it is rolled up.
•
When using an extension cable, use only certified
extension cables with sufficient reach. For more
information, see "Recommended cable dimensions"
in the "Technical data" section.
