using a metal detector).
Always work with the tool attached correctly. Pull
on the tool to check that it is seated correctly. (It
must be possible to move the tool a few centime-
tres in an axial direction.)
When working above ground level, make sure that
the area underneath is free.

A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive additional handle.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
