Safety rules
Machine-specific Safety Warnings
Wear hearing protection.
The effects of noise can cause loss
of hearing capacity.
Wear safety gloves.
Hold the machine with a firm grip.
High reaction torque can briefly occur while driv-
ing in and loosening screws.
Hold power tool by the insulated gripping surfac-
es, when performing an operation where the cut-
ting tool may run into hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with clamping
devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work on stone containing
crystalline silica (SiO2).
SiO
2
This will produce dust which is dan-
gerous to your health.
Do not work on materials containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic!
During operation, always ensure that the mains
and extension cable is to the rear away from the
device.
This prevents anyone from tripping over the cable
while working.
Tools not in use must be locked away
safely in a dry place out of the reach
of children.
Use appropriate detectors to deter-
mine if utility lines are hidden in the
work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes dam-
age to property or electric shock.
To mark the machine, do not drill into
the housing.
The protective insulation would be
bridged. Use stickers.
Never use the machine with a dam-
aged cable. Do not touch the dam-
aged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable gets damaged during
operation.
Damaged cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
Residual risk. Although this information sheet
and the operating manuals for our electrical tools
contain extensive instructions on safe working
with electrical tools, every electrical tool involves
certain residual risks that cannot be completely
prevented through safety mechanisms. Therefore,
electrical tools must always be operated with the
necessary caution.
