• When working, hold the power tool
firmly with both hands and ensure you
have a stable footing.
The power tool
can be guided in a safer fashion when
you use two hands.
• Wait until the power tool has come to a
standstill before you put it down.
The
inserted tool may otherwise jam and
cause a loss of control over the power
tool.
• Avoid uncontrolled restarting.
Switch
the tool off when the power supply is
interrupted, for example, by a power fail-
ure or pulling the plug.
• Secure the work piece.
A work piece
secured using clamps or a vice is held
more safely than one held by hand.
• Keep your workplace clean.
Mixed
contamination by various materials is
particularly dangerous. Light metal dust
(e.g. aluminium) can ignite or explode
easily.
• Never use the power tool with a dam-
aged cable. Do not touch a damaged
cable and pull out the power plug
immediately.
Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Prevent overheating of the device and
the work piece.
Excess heat may dam-
age the tool and the device.
• Shortly after being used, the tool may
be very hot. Allow a hot tool to cool
down.
Touching a hot tool may cause
burns.
• Never clean a hot tool with flammable
liquids.
There is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
• Keep the handles dry and free of
grease.
Slippery handles can lead to
accidents.
• Always comply with the all applicable
domestic and international safety,
health, and working regulations.
Inform yourself before you start work
about the regulations that apply at the
site of the device.
• Remember that moving parts may also
be located behind ventilation and venting
slots.
• Symbols affixed to your device may not
be removed or covered. Information on
the device that is no longer legible must
be replaced immediately.
Dust extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
paint, some types of wood, minerals and
metal may be harmful to health. Touching of
inhaling the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or ailments of the respiratory tract
of the user or persons in the vicinity. Certain
dusts such as oak or beech dust are consid-
ered carcinogenic, particularly in combina-
tion with wood treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservatives). Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be processed by
experts.
– Always use a dust extraction facility.
– Make sure the workplace is well venti-
lated.
– Always wear a dust protection mask.
– Observe the regulations valid in your
country for the materials to be processed.

data represent the main uses of the device.
The actual existing vibrations during use may
deviate from these as a result of the following

• Insufficient maintenance.
You can reduce the risks considerably by fol-
lowing the tips below:

tion, read and observe the instruc-
tions for use.
