The intended use is described in this manual. The use of any
accessory or attachment or the performance of any operation

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Using your appliance
•
Always take care when using the appliance.
•
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
•
Only use the appliance in daylight or good artificial light.
•
Do not operate your appliance in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
•
Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions
to use the appliance, local regulations may restrict the age of
the operator.
•
Do not allow children or animals to come near the work area
or touch the appliance supply cord.
•
Keep children, bystanders and animals away while operating an
appliance. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
•
The appliance is not to be used as a toy.
•
Do not immerse the appliance in water.
•
Do not open body casing. There are no userserviceable
parts inside.
Personal safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating an appliance. Do not use an appliance
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating an
appliance may result in serious personal injury.
•
Where required, use personal protective equipment. Protective
equipment such as eye protection, dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
•
Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying appliances
with your finger on the switch or energising appliances that have
the switch on invites accidents.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the appliance in
unexpected situations.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Appliance use and care
•
Before use, check the appliance for damaged or defective
parts. Check for breakage of parts, damage to switches and
any other conditions that may affect its operation.
•
Do not use the appliance if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Any appliance that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliances.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
•
Where applicable, keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Do not use the appliance if any part is damaged or defective.
•
Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or replaced by
an authorised repair agent.
•
Never attempt to remove or replace any parts other than those
specified in this manual.
Electrical safety
•
Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) appliance. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
