7 Use

7.1 On/Off switch, continuous activation
Always guide the machine with both hands.
Switch the machine on first before mounting
it on the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When
switching the machine on and off, keep it away
from dust deposits.
After switching off the machine, only place it
down when the motor has come to a stand-
still.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the
tool off when the plug is removed from the
mains socket or if there has been a power cut.
In continuous operation, the machine
continues running if it is forced out of your
hands. Therefore, always hold the machine using
the handles provided, stand in a safe position and
concentrate.
