objects) and avoid damaging internal components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load-bearing walls (static).

flange (9) so that it lies flat along the support
flange.
- The two sides of the clamping nut (7) are different.
Screw the clamping nut onto the spindle so that
