Safety Instructions
When using power tools, always observe the safety
regulations applicable in your country to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Read all of this manual carefully before operating the
tool.

General Safety Rules
1. Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas and benches can cause
accidents.
26
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the
tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work
area well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the tool
where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion,
e.g., in the presence of flammable liquids and
gases.
3. Keep children away.
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to
come near the work area or to touch the tool or
the mains cable.
4. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these
can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective
hair covering to keep long hair out of the way.
When working outdoors, preferably wear
suitable gloves and non-slip footwear.
5. Personal protection.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust
mask whenever the operations may produce
dust or flying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
6. Guard against electric shock.
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces
(e.g., pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators). When using the tool under
extreme conditions (e.g., high humidity, when
metal swarf is being produced, etc.), electric
safety can be improved by inserting an isolating
transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-
breaker.
7. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired.
9. Secure workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece. It
is safer and it frees both hands to operate the
tool.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches
are removed from the tool before operating the
tool.
