breaking current in the range of 10 to 30 mA is
recommended. Consult a qualified electrician.
• Never pass the running tool over the exten-

prevent it from getting wet or being exposed
to humidity. Do not leave it outside overnight.
• The power supply cable should be checked
regularly and before each time it is used;
make sure that the cable is not damaged or
worn out. If the cable is not in good condition,
do not use the tool; take it to an authorized
service centre instead.
