adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

care. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused

taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

3. Special Safety Instructions

Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
Wear ear protectors when working for long
periods of time. High noise levels over a
prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.
Hold the machine from the handles provided.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some dust created by using this power tool
contains substances known to the state of
California to cause cancer, allergic reaction,
respiratory disease, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these
substances are: lead (from lead-based paints),
crystalline silica (from bricks, cement, etc.),
additives for wood treatment (chromate, wood
preservative), some types of wood (like oak and
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long the user or bystanders are
being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce exposure to these substances: work in a
well ventilated area and wear approved protective
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush.
