• Keep curious people, children or animals away while operating this machine. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
• Keep the work area clean and work only with sufficient lighting. Cluttered and dark areas can cause accidents.
MACHINE MAINTENANCE, TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

that are cracked, chipped, or damaged.
• Keep handles dry and clean. Dirty handles can cause loss of control.

transporting this machine. Transporting electrical machines with the switch in the "on" position may jeopardize

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

with the battery.

quickly, wash with plenty of soap and water, neutralise the liquid with a weak acid such as lemon or vinegar and
go to your medical centre urgently. If the battery liquid touches your eyes, wash them thoroughly with water for 10
minutes and call for medical assistance immediately.
