Operating staff:
Operating staff has undergone an induction by the ope-
rator about the entrusted tasks and potential hazards re-
sulting from improper behaviour. Tasks which go beyond
normal operation may only be carried out by the operator
if they are listed in the operation manual and the opera-
tor has made him/herself familiar with them.
Qualified electrician:
Due to the electrician's specialised training, know-how,
experience and knowledge of pertinent standards and
regulations the electrician is in a position to work on the
electrical systems, and autonomously identify and avoid
potential hazards.
Specialist staff:
As a result of specialist training, expertise, experience
and skills in terms of the relevant standards and regulati-
ons, specialist staff is able to complete the tasks they are
entrusted with and independently identify hazards and
avert risks.

Certain work must be carried out by manufacturer spe-
cialist staff only. Other staff is not permitted to carry out
this work. Contact our customer service to have the work

2.6 General safety aspects
Note the following:
- Keep the work area clean and well lit.

from the power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.

nents with sharp objects as well as friction, abrasion,
