General
1 Keep work area clean

2 Consider work area environment
Do not expose the tool to rain. Do not use the
tool in damp or wet conditions. Keep the work
area well lit (250 - 300 Lux). Do not use the tool

liquids and gases.
3 Keep children away
Do not allow children, visitors or animals to
come near the work area or to touch the tool or
the mains cable.
4 Dress properly
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as
these can be caught in moving parts. Wear
protective hair covering to keep long hair out of
the way. When working outdoors, preferably
wear 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 flying 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.

seizure of moving parts, breakage of parts,
damage to guards and switches and any other
conditions that may affect its operation.
Ensure that the tool will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Do not use the
tool if any part is damaged or defective. Do not
use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and
off. Have any damaged or defective parts
replaced by an authorised BERNER repair
agent.

complete standstill before leaving it unattended.
Remove the battery pack when not in use,
