IMPORTANT NOTE:
Residual Risk. Although the safety
instructions and operating manuals for our
tools contain extensive instructions on safe
working with power tools, every power tool
involves a certain residual risk which cannot
be completely excluded by safety
mechanisms. Power tools must therefore
always be operated with caution!
General
1.
Disconnect power tool and attachment
from power supply when not in use,
before servicing, when making
adjustments and when changing
accessories such as cutters. Ensure
switch is in “off” position. Always ensure
cutter has stopped rotating.

Always mount the power tool, accessory
or attachment in conformity with the
instructions. Only use attachment and
accessories specified in the power tool
manual. The tool or attachment should
not be modified or used for any
application other than that for which it was
designed. Do not force tool.
3.
Keep children and visitors away. Do not
let children or visitors touch the tool,
accessory or attachment. Keep children
and visitors away from work area. Make
the workshop child proof with padlock and
master switch.
4.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellry, they can be caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-
skid footwear is recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
5.
Consider working environment. Do not
use the product in the rain or in a damp
environment. Keep work area well lit. Do
not use power tools near gasoline or
flammable liquids. Keep workshop at a
comfortable temperature so your hands
are not cold. Connect machines that are
used in the open via a residual current
device (RCD) with an actuation current of
30 mA maximum. Use only extension
cables that are approved for outdoor use.
6.
The accessory or attachment must be
kept level and stable at all times.
7.
Keep work area clean. Cluttered
workshops and benches can cause
injuries. Ensure there is sufficient room to
work safely.
8.
Secure idle tools. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry and high or
locked up place, out of reach of children.
9.
For best control and safety use both
hands on the power tool and attachment.
Keep both hands away from cutting area.
Always wait for the spindle and cutter to
stop rotating before making any
adjustments.
10.
Always keep guards in place and in good
working order.
11.
Remove any nails, staples and other
metal parts from the workpiece.
12.
Maintain tools and cutters with care. Keep
cutters sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Do not use damaged
cutters. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
13.
Maintain accessories. Do not use
damaged accessories. Only use
accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
14.
Check damaged parts. Before operation
inspect the attachment, the power tool,
the cable, extension cable and the plug
carefully for signs of damage. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding,
breakage, mounting and any other
conditions that may effect its operation.
Have any damage repaired by an
Authorised Service Agent before using the

Connect dust extraction equipment. If
devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
19.
Check all fixing and fastening nuts, bolts
and screws on power tool, attachment
and cutting tools before use to ensure
