Safety Precautions and

Special safety precautions must be
observed when working with this
power tool because of the very high
speed of its cutting attachment and
the fact that it is powered by electric‐
ity.
It is important that you read and
understand the User Manual before
commissioning and keep it in a safe
place for future reference. Non-com‐
pliance with the User Manual may
cause serious or even fatal injury.
Observe the national safety regulations issued,
e.g., by the employers' liability insurance associ‐
ation, social security institutions, occupational
safety and health authorities or other organiza‐
tions.
If you have not used this machine before: Have
your dealer or other experienced user show you
how to handle your machine safely or attend a
specialist course.
Minors should never be allowed to use the
machine – except for young trainees over the
age of 16 when working under supervision.
Children, animals and onlookers must not be
allowed near the machine.
When the machine is not in use, shut it off so
that it does not endanger others. Secure it
