d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific
Safety Warnings
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 clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive. Exam-
ple: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extrac-
tion when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials
are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys
can burn or explode.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
12 | English
Wear protective gloves when changing cut-
ting tools. Cutting tools become hot after pro-
longed usage.
Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetra-
tion of water into the machine increases the risk of
an electric shock.
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 explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock.
