e) The electric cord must be uncoiled. 
Coiled cord can overheat and reduce the 
 efficiency of the product. Always wind 
cord carefully, avoiding kinks.

f) When operating a power tool outdoors, 
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor 
use fitted with a coupler according to 
IEC 60320-2-3. Use of a cord suitable for 
 outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

g) If operating a power tool in a damp 
l ocation is unavoidable, use a residual 
current device (RCD) protected supply 
with a tripping current of not more than 
30 mA. Even with a RCD installed, 
100% safety cannot be guaranteed and 
safe working practices must be followed 
at all times. Check your RCD every time 
you use your product. Use of an RCD 
reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and 
use common sense when operating a power 
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are 
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol 
or medication. A moment of inattention while 
operating power tools may result in serious 
 personal i njury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. 
Always wear eye protection and hearing 
 protection. To prevent dust irritation, 
the use of a dust mask is recommended. 
Protective equipment such as eye protection, 
hearing protection, dust mask, nonskid safety 
shoes, or hard hat used for appropriate 
 conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the 
switch is in the off position before connecting 
to power source, picking up or carrying the 
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on 
the switch or energising power tools that have 
the switch on invites accidents.

d) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing 
and balance at all times. On slopes, be extra 
careful and wear non-slip footwear. Do not 
walk backwards while operating your 
 product. Walk, never run. Do not use ladders 
while operating the product. 
This enables better control of the power tool 
in unexpected situations.

e) Dress properly. Always wear suitable 
 clothing, gloves, and stout shoes. 
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.

4) Power tool use and care 
a) Only use the product in the manner and for 
the functions described in these instructions. 
Always direct the cord to the rear, away 
from the product. Do not force the power 
tool. Use the correct power tool for your 
application. The correct power tool will do 
the job better and safer at the rate for which it 
was designed.

b) Always make sure your product is in a safe 
operating condition before use. Do not use 
the power tool if the switch does not turn it 
on and off. Know how to stop the product 
quickly in an emergency. Any power tool 
that cannot be controlled with the switch is 
 dangerous and must be repaired.

c) The impeller continues to rotate after 
your product has been switched off. 
The motor must be stopped and the impeller 
blade no longer turning to avoid serious injury 
from the rotating blades.

d) Disconnect the plug from the power 
source:
–  before removing or replacing fully  assembled 

debris bag;

–  before leaving the product unattended for any 

period;

–  before clearing a blockage;
–  before checking, cleaning or working on the 

appliance;

–  if the product starts to vibrate abnormally. 

Check immediately. Excessive vibration can 
cause injury.

–  before passing to another person.

e) Store idle power tools out of the reach of 
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar 
with the power tool or these instructions 
to operate the power tool. Power tools are 
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

f) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage 
of parts and any other condition that may 
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, 
have the power tool repaired before use. 
Keep all cooling air inlets clear of debris. 
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained 
power tools.

g) Use the power tool and accessories in 
accordance with these instructions, taking 
into account the working conditions and the 
work to be performed. Use the product only 
in daylight or good artificial light. 
Use of the power tool for operations different 
from those intended could result in a hazardous 
situation.
