u
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
u
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
u
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
u
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety information for multi-cutters
u
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
u
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
u
Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
u
Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the work-
piece and the sander. Always empty the dust collector
before taking a break from work.
Sanding dust in the
dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or va-
cuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously combust under
certain conditions, for example if flying sparks are cre-
ated when sanding metals. This risk is increased if the
sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue
or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is
hot as a result of prolonged work.
u
Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach
under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
u
Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and ex-
cessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause elec-
trical hazards.
u
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
u
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
sure you have a stable footing.
The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
u
When changing the application tool, wear protective
gloves.
Application tools can become hot when used for
prolonged periods of time.
u
Do not scrape any dampened materials (e.g. wallpa-
per) or on damp surfaces.
Water entering a power tool
increases the risk of electric shock.
u
Do not treat the surface you will be working on with
any fluids that contain solvents.
Poisonous vapours
may develop due to the materials heating up when being
scraped.
u
Take particular care when handling scrapers and
blades.
The application tools are very sharp. Danger of in-
jury.
