suitable gloves and non-slip footwear.
5 Personal protection
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust
mask whenever the operations may produce
dust or fl ying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
6 Guard against electric shock
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces
(e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators).
When using the tool under extreme conditions
(e.g. high humidity, when metal swarf is being
produced, etc.), electric safety can be improved
by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI)
earth-leakage circuit-breaker.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired.

safer and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
11 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches
are removed from the tool before operating the
tool.
12 Extension cables
Before use, inspect the extension cable and
replace if damaged. When using the tool
outdoors, only use extension cables intended
for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
13 Use appropriate tool
The intended use is described in this instruction
manual. Do not force small tools or attachments
to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended. Do not force the tool.
