Reduce the risk of electric shock:
Voltage and frequency of the
–
machine (see rating plate) and the
voltage and frequency of your
power supply must be the same.
Check the connecting cord, plug,
–
extension cord and safety devices
for damage. Never use damaged
cords, couplings and plugs or
connecting cords that do not comply
with regulations.
Always connect the power tool to a
–
properly installed wall outlet.
Check that the insulation of the
–
power cord, extension cord, plug
and coupling is in good condition.
Never jerk the connecting cord to
–
disconnect it from the wall outlet. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Position the connecting and extension
cords correctly:
Check minimum cross section of
–
wires (wire gauge) – see
"Connecting to Power Supply".
To reduce the risk of stumbling,
–
position and mark the connecting
cord so that it cannot be damaged
or endanger others.
Using unsuitable extension cords
–
can be dangerous. Make sure the
extension cord used complies with
the regulations for the intended
application.
The plug and coupling of the
–
extension cord must be water-proof
and must never be immersed in
water.
Do not chafe on edges, pointed or
–
sharp objects
Do not squeeze through gaps in
–
doors or windows
If cords are twisted – unplug the
–
power tool and straighten them out
Always unwind the extension cord
–
completely from the cable drum to
reduce the risk of fire from
overheating.
The extension cord must always be
–
behind you (i.e. the operator).
Make sure that it cannot become
–
entangled with branches during
cutting.
Position the connecting cord so that
–
it cannot come into contact with the
rotating chain.
Do not drive over, squash or jerk the
connecting cord. Protect it from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
