▶ Use auxiliary handles, if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can
cause personal injury.
▶ Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make

an electric shock.

2.3 Additional safety instructions

Personal safety
▶ Use the tool only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Apply appropriate safety measures at the opposite side of the workpiece
in work that involves breaking through. Parts breaking away could fall out
and / or fall down causing injury to other persons.
▶ Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep
the grips clean and dry.
▶ Always grip the side handle at its outermost end.
▶ Wear suitable protective glasses, a hard hat, ear protection, protective
gloves and light respiratory protection while using the tool.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching
the accessory tool presents a risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body
and eyes.
▶ Before beginning the work, check the hazard classification of the dust
that will be produced. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially
approved protection classification in compliance with locally applicable
dust protection regulations.
▶ Use a dust removal system and suitable vacuum cleaner whenever
possible. Dust from materials, such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, concrete/masonry/stone containing silica, and minerals as
well as metal, may be harmful.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary,
wear a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Contact with
or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust
are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust, especially
in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood
preservative). Material containing asbestos may be handled only by
specialists.
▶ Take breaks between working and do physical exercises to improve the
blood circulation in your fingers. Exposure to vibration during long periods
of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous system in
the fingers, hands and wrists.
