Dark and cluttered work areas increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use the product in an explosive
environment, for example near
flammable liquids, gas or dust. The
product produces sparks, which can ignite
dust and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe
distance when using the product.
Distractions can result in you losing
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose the product to rain or
moisture. There is a greater risk of electric
shock if water gets into the product.
• Be careful with the power cord. Do not
use the power cord to carry or pull the
product, or to pull out the plug from the
power point. Keep the power cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Damaged or tangled power cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
