to people and objects.
The tool is to be used only for
the intended purpose. Any
misappropriation is regarded
as improper use. The user
alone – and definitely not the
manufacturer – is responsible
for property and personal
damage resulting from such
improper use.
The manufacturer cannot be
held liable if machines from
the same are modified or
used improperly and dama-
ge occurs as a result.
Caution! A certain residual risk,
which cannot be eliminated, always
remains even in the case of proper
use of the tool. The following po-
tential hazards can be derived from
the type and design of the tool:
•
Contact with the unprotected thread
reel (cuts).
•
Reaching into the thread reel when it is
running (cuts).
•
Hearing damage if no appropriate
protection is worn.
•
Dust and gas formation that is harmful
to health if the equipment is used in
enclosed spaces (nausea).
