2. USAGE SAFETY
ATTENTION! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury or even death.
Whenever „device" or „product" are used in the warnings
and instructions, it shall mean Electric garden tilleri. Prevent
the device from getting wet. Risk of electric shock! When in
use, do not put your hands or other items inside the device!
Do not cover the ventilation openings!

2.1. ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) The plug has to fit the socket. Do not modify the
plug in any way. Using original plugs and matching
sockets reduces the risk of electric shock. Never use
a damaged or incomplete plug.
b) Avoid touching earthed elements such as pipes,
heaters, boilers and fridges. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if the earthed device is exposed to
rain, in direct contact with a wet surface or operating
in a humid environment. Water ingression into the
device increases the risk of damage to the device
and of electric shock.
c) Do not touch the device with wet or damp hands.
d) Use the cable only in accordance with its designated
use. Never use it to carry the device or to pull the
plug out of a socket. Keep the cable away from heat
sources, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or tangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.
22.10.2018
e) If working with the device outside, make sure to use
an extension lead suitable for external use. Using an
extension lead suitable for external use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If using the device in a humid environment cannot
be avoided, a residual current device (RCD) should
be applied. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
g) Check regularly that the residual-current device
(RCD) works properly.
h) Do not use the machine if the power cord or the
extension cord is faulty or shows clear signs of
wear. A damaged power cord must be replaced
by a qualified electrician or the manufacturer's
maintenance service.
i) Do not plug a damaged power cord to the wall
socket. Do not touch a damaged power cord until
it is unplugged from the wall socket, since this may
cause electric shock.
j) During operation, be careful to keep the moving
parts of the machine away from the extension cord
because their contact may damage the extension
cord and cause an electric shock.
k) In case the power cord gets damaged, first cut off
the power supply to the wall socket and then unplug
the cord from the socket.

2.2. SAFETY AT THE WORKPLACE
