2. electrical safety
a) the mains plug on the device must
match the mains socket. the plug must
not be modified in any way. do not
use an adapter plug with devices fitted
with a protective earth. Unmodified
plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of
electric shock.
b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig-
erators with any part of your body.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.
c) Keep the device away from rain or
moisture. Water entering an electrical device
in creases the risk of electric shock.
d) do not use the mains lead for any pur-
pose for which it was not intended,
e.g. to carry the device, to hang up
the device or to pull the mains plug
out of the mains socket. Keep the lead
away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes
damaged or severed while you are working,
instead pull the mains plug out of the mains
socket immediately. Damaged or tangled
mains leads increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When working outdoors with an elec-
trical power tool always use extension
cables that are also approved for use
outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

tools are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced people. Let the device cool
down completely before putting it away. The
hot nozzle can cause damage.
c) Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
