1.
The tool must not be used by children or people unfamiliar with its use;
2.
Do not use the equipment barefoot, in wet or very humid places, as this increases the risk of electric
shock;
3.
For protection against electric shock, it is recommended to install a residual current circuit breaker.
Consult an electrician to select and install this safety device;

To reduce the risks of electric shock, when using your equipment, do not touch metal surfaces attached to the
ground or grounded, such as pipes, motors, gutters, fences, windows, doors, metal gates, etc;

Always use suitable personal protective equipment (PPE), such as dust glasses and masks,
non-skid safety shoes and ear protection. This reduces the risks against personal injury;
