Electrical Safety - prime3 GCS41 Owner's Manual

GCS41
Children and bystanders should not be allowed in areas where an
electrically powered device is used. Distraction may result in loss of
control of the device. Leave electrically powered garden equipment
away from bystanders.
It is the operator or the user who is responsible for accidents or
hazards to other people or the environment.

Electrical safety

Connect the device only to an electrical supply of characteristics in
accordance with the information on the data plate.
The power tool plugs must match the power sockets. Never alter the
power cord plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and suitable electrical
sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid touching grounded or shorted to ground surfaces such as
piping, radiators, radiators and refrigerators. If parts that are grounded
or shorted to ground are touched, the risk of electric shock increases.
Do not expose electric devices to rain or humid conditions. If water
enters the power tool, the risk of an electric shock increases.
Do not tighten the connection cables. Never use the connection
cable to carry, pull electrical equipment or pull the plug out of the
socket. Keep the connection cable away from heat sources, oils, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled connection cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
Before starting the work, check the power cord before starting the
work. Do not operate if the power cord or extension cord is abraded,
cut or otherwise damaged. If the power cord is damaged during use,
switch off the device and unplug it from the socket.
If the power tool is used outdoors, the connection cables should be
extended with waterproof extension cords designed to operate
outdoors. Using such an extension cord reduces the risk of an electric
shock. The cross-section area of the extension cord conductors should
be at least 1.5 mm2 when the length of the cable is less than 20 m, and
if the length of the cable is between 20 and 50 m, the minimum cross-
