other source of electricity.
u
Make sure that there are no concealed wires or other
sources of electricity in the working area.
WARNING
Operating pressure

operating pressure. See "Technical data".
WARNING
Unexpected movements
The working tool is exposed to heavy strains when the
machine is used. The working tool may break due to fa-
tigue after a certain amount of use. If the working tool
breaks or gets stuck, there may be sudden and unex-
pected movement that can cause injuries. Furthermore,
losing your balance or slipping may cause injury.

with your feet as far apart as your shoulder width,
and keeping a balanced body weight.
