Using an extension cable
Always use an approved extension cable suitable
for the power input of this appliance (see rating
plate). The extension cable must be suitable for
outdoor use.
Before use, inspect the cable for signs of
damage, wear and ageing. Replace the
extension cable if damaged or defective.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.
Take care to keep the cable away from the
cutting line. Always be aware of the position of
the cable.
