•
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
•
When an extension cable is required, you must ensure it
has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is in a
safe electrical condition.
•
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your
tool rating plate voltage.
•
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection
against a possible electrical insulation failure within
the tool.
•
Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden
power cables, fasteners and pipes.
•
After long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
•
Do not force the scraper; let the tool do the work
at a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too
much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting
in inefficient scraping and possible damage to the
tool's motor.
•

dusts when scraping lead-based painted surfaces,
woods and metals, including the following:
