a Have your power tool serviced
by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b To avoid hazards, damaged power
leads must be replaced by the
manufacturer or his customer service
representative.
Hammer safety warnings

with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
c Hold power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a „live“ wire
may make exposed metal parts of the

operator an electric shock.

the power supply voltage matches the
specification on the type plate of the
tool.
b Never use the power tool as a
screwdriver with hammer action. The

outside, only use suitable cables with
splashproof sockets.

a tool, cleaning or maintaining the tool
or when leaving it unattended, always
pull the plug out of the power socket.
