For your Safety
•
Dust from materials such as coatings containing lead, several types of wood,
minerals and metals can be harmful to health and cause allergic reactions,
respiratory diseases and/or cancer.
Asbestos-containing material may only be machined by specialists.
−
Where possible use dust extraction suitable for the material.
−
Ensure the workplace is properly ventilated.
−
We recommend wearing a face mask respirator with filter class P2 or P3
(to EN 149:2001).
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be machined.
•
Do not use the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
•
Avoid causing situations where other people can stumble or trip.
Tripping over cables can cause serious injuries.
Electrical safety
•
Check the power tool, connection cable and plug for damage before each use.
A damaged machine is dangerous and no longer safety to operate.
•
Note the mains voltage! The power source voltage must match the details given
on the rating plate of the power tool.
•
If using the power tool with mobile generators, loss of power or atypical behav-
iour on switching on is possible.
•
Do not use the power tool if the cable is damaged. Do not touch the damaged
cable and disconnect the mains plug if the cable is damaged while you are
working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
•
Only use extension cables suitable for the machine's power consumption and
which have a minimum core cross-section of 1.5 mm
2
. If you use a cable drum,
always completely unwind the cable.
The rolled up cable can heat up and start to burn.
•
Regularly clean the ventilation slots of your power tool by blowing it out. Never
use liquids. Never insert screwdrivers or any other objects into the ventilation
slits. Do not cover the ventilation slits.
The motor fan draws dust into the housing and a large accumulation of metal dust
can cause electrical hazards.
•
External electromagnetic interference (e.g. mains voltage fluctuations, electro-
static discharges) can cause the power tool to switch off automatically.
In this case, switch off the power tool and then switch it back on again.
