Electrical safety

WARNING! There is always a risk of shocks
!
from electrically powered machines. Avoid
unfavourable weather conditions and body
contact with lightning conductors and metal
objects. Always follow the instructions in the
Operator's manual to avoid damage.
Never connect the machine to a outlet if plug
or cord is damaged.
WARNING! When cleaning the machine make
!
sure to avoid water entering the electrical
system and the motor unit. Water can cause
damage to the machine or short circuit.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds with that stated
on the rating plate on the machine.
• Inspection and/or maintenance should be carried out with
the motor switched off and the plug disconnected.
• Always shut down the machine before disconnecting the
power plug.
• Never drag the machine by means of the cord and never
pull out the plug by pulling the cord. Hold the plug to
disconnect the power cord.
• Never use the machine if any cable or plug is damaged,
but hand it in to an authorized service workshop for repair.
• Always connect the machine through an ground fault
circuit interrupter with personal protection, i.e. an ground
fault circuit interrupter that trips at an ground fault of 30
mA.
• Prevent unintentional starting of the motor. Ensure the
power switch is in the OFF-position before connecting the
machine to a power source.
Grounding instructions
WARNING! Improper connection can result
!
in the risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified electrician if in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug. If it will not fit the
outlet have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Make sure local
regulations and ordinances are followed.
If the grounding instructions are not fully
understood contact a qualified electrician.
• The machine is equipped with a grounded cord and plug
and should always be connected to a grounded outlet.
This reduces the risk of electric shock in the event of
malfunction.
OPERATING
Extension cords and cables
• The marking on the extension cable must be the same or
higher than the value stated on the machine's rating plate.
• Use grounded extension cables.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Keep the connection to the extension cord dry and off the
ground.
• Keep cable away from heat, oil, charp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cable increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Check that the cord and extension cord are intact and in
good condition. Never use the machine if any cable or
plug is damaged, but hand it in to an authorized service
workshop for repair.
• To avoid overheating do not use the extension cord while
it is rolled up.
• When using an extension cable, use only certified
extension cables with sufficient reach. For more
information, see "Recommended cable dimensions" in the
"Technical data" section.
