under the heading Personal protective equipment.
• Never carry the machine by means of the cord and never
pull out the plug by pulling the cord.
• Keep all cords and extension cords away from water, oil
and sharp edges. Make sure the cord is not pinched in
doors, fences or the like. Otherwise it can cause the object
to become live.

good condition.
• Never use the machine if the cord is damaged, hand it in
to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• Do not use an extension cord while it is rolled up to avoid
overheating.

socket.

maintenance and service instructions described in this
manual. Some maintenance and service measures must
be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See

function as they should. The machine must not be run with
defective or disassembled safety equipment.

ensuring that they have understood the contents of the

• People and animals can distract you causing you to lose
control of the machine. For this reason, always remain
concentrated and focused on the task.
