Safety
■
Remove the adjusting tools
or spanner before you
switch on the power tool.
A
tool or spanner that is in a ro-
tating part of the power tool
can cause injury.
■
Avoid an abnormal bodily
posture. Make sure you can
stand safely and keep your
balance at all times.
This will
enable you to control the
power tool better if something
unexpected happens.
■
Wear suitable clothing. Do
not wear baggy clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from
moving parts.
Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can
be snagged on moving parts.
■
If dust extraction and catch-

connected and correctly
used.
Using a dust extraction
system can reduce the risk
caused by dust.
■
Do not give yourself a false
sense of safety; do not ig-
nore the safety rules for
power tools even if you are
familiar with the power tool
after using it many times.
One careless action can lead
to serious injuries within
seconds.

has a defective switch.
A

■
Disconnect the plug from
the socket and/or remove
the battery before you make
adjustments to the appli-

the power tool away.
This
precautionary measure will
prevent the power tool from
starting inadvertently.
■
Keep unused power tools
out of the reach of children.
Do not allow people to use
the power tool if they are
not familiar with it or have
not read these instructions.
Power tools are dangerous if
they are used by inexperi-
