Safety instructions
2.1
General Safety
WARNING!
and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2
Tool-specifi c safety rules
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
- Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
