BEFORE USE
ƒ
Before using the tool for the first time, it is recom -

ƒ
Always check that the supply voltage is the same
as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the
tool (tools with a rating of 230V or 240V can also
be connected to a 220V supply).
ƒ
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility
lines or call the local utility company for assis-
tance (contact with electric lines can lead to fire or
electrical shock; damaging a gas line can result in
an explosion; penetrating a water pipe will cause
property damage or an electrical shock).
ƒ
Do not work materials containing asbestos (as-
bestos is considered carcinogenic).
ƒ
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust
may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders); wear a
dust mask and work with a dust extraction de-
vice when connectable.
ƒ
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning; wear a
dust mask and work with a dust extraction de-
vice when connectable.
ƒ
Follow the dust-related national requirements for
the materials you want to work with.
ƒ
Do not clamp the tool in a vice.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
f
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
f
Always replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
f
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
f
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This
circuit should be protected with the appropriate
time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to
the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric voltage is rated the same
as the voltage stamped on the motor nameplate.
Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
