GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• The product is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Children should be adequately supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product.

• Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use the product. If you loan someone the product, loan them these instructions also to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.

• Inspect the product before each use. Check for loose fasteners, etc. Make sure that all guards and handles are properly and securely attached. Replace any damaged parts before use. Check for battery pack leaks.

• Do not modify the product in any way or use parts and accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer. This may increase the risk of serious injury to yourself or others.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Exercise caution to avoid slipping or falling.

• Keep water away from all electrical devices to reduce the risk of electrocution or electric shock.

• Use caution when using the product in windy conditions. Winds may carry mists into electrical wiring or devices.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

• Do not place the product near fire or heat.

• Do not expose the product to rain, wet, or damp conditions. Water entering the product increases the risk of electric shock.

• Do not place multiple portable outlets or power supplies behind the product.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the product enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstructions.

• Do not operate the product in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product creates sparks, which may ignite dust or fumes.

• Do not operate the product near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not use the product to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

• Do not touch moving parts. Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.

• Never operate the product unless all parts are securely attached.

• Ensure that all connections are secure before using the product. Spilled water and leaks can result in a slippery surface and create a slip and fall hazard.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of the product allow you to become complacent and ignore safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

• Turn off the product, remove the battery pack or disconnect the product from the power supply, and allow both to cool down. Make sure that all moving parts have come to a complete stop:

• before servicing
