Safety Warnings for Multi-Cutters
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of wa-
ter into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
Caution, fire hazard! Avoid overheating the object be-
ing sanded as well as the sander. Always empty the
dust collector before taking breaks. In unfavourable
conditions, e. g., when sparks emit from sanding metals,
sanding debris in the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack
(or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can
self-ignite. Particularly when mixed with remainders of var-
nish, polyurethane or other chemical materials and when
the sanding debris is hot after long periods of working.
Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The
power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
Wear protective gloves when changing application
tools/accessories. Application tools/accessories become
hot after prolonged usage.
Do not scrape wetted materials (e.g. wallpaper) or on
moist surfaces. Penetration of water into the machine in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-con-
taining fluids. Materials being warmed up by the scraping
can cause toxic vapours to develop.
Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper.
The accessory is very sharp; danger of injury.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a
