Electric safety
a. The plug of the power tool must fit into the
socket.
Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use
adapter plugs together with grounded power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets re -
duce the risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refriger -
ators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is grounded.
c. Keep power tools away from rain or humidity.
Water permeation into the power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d. Use the cable solely for its intended purpose.
Do not use the cable to carry or hang up the
power tool or to pull out the plug from the
socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving machine parts. Damaged or twisted ca-
bles increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When working outdoors with power tools,
only use extension cords which are suited for
outdoor areas.
Using extension cords suited for outdoor applica-
tions reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. lf the operation of power tools in a humid en-
vironment cannot be avoided, you must use a
residual current circuit breaker..
The use of a residual current circuit breaker will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a. Pay attention to what you are doing and use
power tools sensibly.
Do not use power tools when you are tired or un-
der the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A single moment of inattention while using power
tools may cause severe injury
b. Wear personal protective equipment and
safety goggles.
Wearing personal protective equipment such as
a dust mask, non-skid safety boots, a protective
helmet or hearing protection according to the type
and application of the power tool reduces the risk
of injury.
c. Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally.
Make sure that the power tool is switched off be-
fore you connect it to the mains and/ or insert a
battery, pick it up or carry it. lf you have your finger
on the switch when you carry the power tool, or if
the machine is switched on when you connect it to
the mains, this may result in accidents.
d. Remove adjustment tools or wrenches before
switching on the power tool.
Tools or wrenches in rotating machine parts may
cause injury.
The manufacturer will not be liable for any changes
made to the equipment nor for any damage resulting
from such changes.
Even when the equipment is used as prescribed it is
still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk fac-
tors. The following hazards may arise in connection
with the machine’s construction and design:
• Contact with the cutting wheel in the non-covered
cutting area.
• Reaching into the running cutting wheel (cutting
injury)..
• Kick-back of workpieces and parts of workpieces.
• Cutting wheel breakage.
• Ejection of damaged or faulty cutting wheels.
• Hearing damage when the necessary hearing pro-
tection is not used.
The machine may be operated only with original parts
and original accessories of the manufacturer.
Please note that our equipment has not been de-
signed for use in commercial, trade or industrial appli-
cations. Our warranty will be voided if the equipment
is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses
or for equivalent purposes.
