USE

• The term “power tool” in all warnings below refers to your mains-powered (corded) power tools.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the weed burner, or to pull out the plug from the mains socket. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts.
• Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Use a mains connection protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the weed burner if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.
