General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warning and instructions for future reference. The term -power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a) This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruc-tion concerning the use of the product by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the product. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the product. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   b) Never operate the product while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
   c) Never blow debris in the direction of bystanders. The operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
   d) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   e) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
2. Electrical safety
   a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Use only on AC mains supply voltage shown on the product rating label. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
   b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk electric shock.
   d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Before use, examine cord for damage. Replace cord if there are signs of damage or ageing. Do not use the product if the cord is damaged or worn. Immediately disconnect from the mains electricity supply if the cord is cut, or the insulation is damaged. Do not touch the electric cord until the electrical supply has been disconnected. Do not repair a cut or damaged cord. Replace it with a new one. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   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 location 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 injury.
   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 top 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 oft. 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: – perbefoicdreleaving the product unattended for any – 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.
