OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the
trigger switch is in the OFF position. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic
conditions in terms of table height and stability. The machine
site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview
and enough free surrounding space around the machine that
allows handling of the workpiece without any restrictions.
To reduce effects of increased vibration, make sure the
environment is not too cold, the machine and accessory are well
maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for this machine.
