Distractions can cause you to lose control. u The appliance is not to be used as a toy. u Do not immerse the appliance in water. u Do not open body casing. There are no userserviceable parts inside. Personal safety u Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an appliance. Do not use an appliance while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating an appliance may result in serious personal injury. u Where required, use personal protective equipment. Protective equipment such as eye protection, dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. u Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch is in the off- position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Carrying appliances with your nger on the switch or energising appliances that have the switch on invites accidents. u Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the appliance in unexpected situations. u Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Appliance use and care u Before use, check the appliance for damaged or defective parts. Check for breakage of parts, damage to switches and any other conditions that may affect its operation. u Do not use the appliance if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any appliance that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. u Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliances. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally. u Where applicable, keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. u Do not use the appliance if any part is damaged or defective. u Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or replaced by an authorised repair agent. u Never attempt to remove or replace any parts other than those specied in this manual.6 ENGLISH (Original instructions) Electrical safety u Appliance plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) appliance.

Water entering a appliance will increase the risk of electric shock. u Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the appliance. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. u When operating an appliance outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. u If operating an appliance in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Residual Current Device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. After Use u When not in use, the appliance should be stored in a dry, well ventilated place out of the reach of children. u Children should not have access to stored appliances. u When the appliance is stored or transported in a vehicle it should be placed in the boot or restrained to prevent movement following sudden changes in speed or direction. Service u Have your appliance serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the appliance is maintained.
