Wait for the machine to stop.
Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then unplug it from the power
supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing
using the tool.

the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near the
switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate the switch.
