12. Secure the workpiece
- If possible, use clamps or a vice to secure the
workpiece. This holds it more securely than
by hand.
13. Avoid abnormal body postures
- Ensure that you are standing securely and
keep your balance at all times.
14. Carefully maintain your tools
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to
be able to work better and more safely.
- Comply with the instructions for lubrication
and tool changes.
- Regularly check the connection cable of the
electric power tool. In the event of damage,
have it replaced by a recognised professio-
nal.
- Regularly check extension cables and replace
them if they are damaged.
- Keep the hand grips dry, clean and free of oil
and grease.
15. Pull the mains plug from the socket
- If the electric power tool is not being used,
prior to maintenance and when changing
tools, e.g. saw blade, drill bit, router bit.
16. Do not leave tool keys in the tool
- Before switching on, check that the key and
adjusting tools have been removed.
17. Avoid inadvertent start-ups
- Make sure that the switch is off when you
insert the plug in the socket.
18. Use extension cables for outdoors
- Outdoors, use only approved and appropria-
tely coded extension cables.
19. Pay attention
- Take care of what you do. Work sensibly. Do
not use electric power tools when you lack
concentration.
20. Check the electric power tool for da-
mage
- Before continuing to use the electric power
tool, protection devices or slightly damaged
parts must be carefully examined to ensure
that they function perfectly and in accordance
with their intended purpose.
- Check whether moving parts work perfectly
and that they do not jam, or whether parts
are damaged. All parts must be correctly fi t-
ted and all conditions met to ensure perfect
operation of the electric power tool.
- Damaged protection devices and parts must
be properly repaired or replaced by a recog-
nised specialist workshop, unless other-wise
specifi ed in the operating instructions.
- Damaged switches must be replaced in a
customer service workshop.
- Do not use any electric power tools on which
the switch cannot be switched on and off.

- The use of other tools and accessories can
represent a risk of injury.
22. Have your electric power tool repaired
by a qualifi ed electrician
