Before Starting The Equipment; Operation - EINHELL GC-HH 5056 Original Operating Instructions

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
The plug on the power tool must fi t into the
socket. The socket must not be modifi ed in
any way. Do not use adapter plugs together
with power tools with a protective earth. Un-
modifi ed plugs and matching sockets will reduce
the risk of an electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, heating systems, stoves and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of suff e-
ring an electric shock if your body is earthed.
If you use an electric power tool outdoors,
use only extension cables that are suitable
for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable
which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of an electric shock.
If you cannot avoid using the power tool in a
damp location, use a residual current device
(RCD) circuit breaker. The use of a residual cur-
rent device (RCD) circuit breaker will reduce the
risk of suff ering an electric shock.
We recommend that you connect the hedge
trimmer only to an electricity source protected by
a residual current device (RCD) breaker with a
maximum trip current of 30 mA.
