equal to the maximum speed indicated in the technical
specifications of the multi-tool;
▪
When using the power tool, place yourself in a stable
position and well balanced. Hold the equipment firmly
with both hands to ensure a continuous operation and
to withstand unexpected situations, such as a backlash;
▪

gets stuck or is pressed. The backlash causes an
instantly reversing movement of the equipment;
▪
The backlash occurs due to an incorrect use of the
power tool or due to a not proper working procedure
which can cause serious injuries to the user. To avoid
the backlash, the following precautions must be
considered:
