Check the unit
Check that your machine is in safe
operating condition – refer to appropriate
sections in the User Manual:
The starting lockout lever and
–
trigger switch must move freely –
the switch must return to the idle
position when it is released.

–
deflector for cutting attachments) for
damage and/or wear. Always
replace damaged parts. Never
operate the unit with a damaged

cutting attachment – risk
of injury!

attachment continues to
run for a short period
after the power tool is
switched off – flywheel
effect.
Electrical connection.
Reduce the risk of electric shock:
Voltage and frequency of the
–
machine (see rating plate) and the
voltage and frequency of your
power supply must be the same.
Examine the connecting cord,
–
power plug and extension cord for
damage. Damaged cords,
couplings and plugs or connecting
cords that do not comply with the
regulations must not be used

–
connection cable, extension cord,
plug and coupling is in good
condition.
Never touch the power plug, power
–
cord and extension cord, and
electrical plug connections with wet
hands.
Any extension cords used must
–
comply with the specifications for
the particular application
Position the connection cable and
extension cord correctly:
Check minimum cross section of
–
wires (wire gauge) – see
"Connecting to Power Supply".
To reduce the risk of stumbling,
–
position and mark the connecting
cord so that it cannot be damaged
or endanger others.
Using unsuitable extension cords
–
can be dangerous. Only use
extension cords that are approved
for outdoor use, are appropriately
labeled and have a sufficient cable
cross-section.
The plug and coupling of the
–
extension cord must be water-proof
and must never be immersed in
water.
Do not allow cord to rub on edges or
–
pointed or sharp objects.
don't trap or squeeze the cord in or
–
under doors or windows
If cords are twisted – unplug the
