no longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired.

making device settings, changing accessories, or putting the device away. This
precautionary measure prevents the device from starting up unintentionally.

persons to use the device who are unfamiliar with the device or who have not
read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous when used by inexperienced
persons.

properly and do not seize, if parts are broken or are damaged, then device
function is impaired. Have the damaged parts repaired before using the tool.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

cutting edges seize less and are easier to control.
g. Use power tools, accessories, insertion tools etc. according to these instructions,
and in the manner prescribed for this particular device type. Give due

tools for applications other than their intended use can lead to dangerous situations.

which the insertion tool can hit concealed power supply lines or its own power
cable. Contact with live lines can also charge metallic tool parts and lead to an electric
shock.
