Use the additional handle supplied with the
tool.

Loss of control can lead to injuries.

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory

contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.

Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.

Beware of gas/water pipes and electric cables!

Avoid inadvertent starts by always unlocking the
switch when the plug is removed from the mains
socket or in case of a power cut.

Keep hands away from the rotating tool!

Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at standstill.

Caution must be exercised when driving screws
into hard materials (driving screws with metric or
imperial threads into steel)! The screw head may
break or a high reverse torque may build up.

The machine produces powerful forces when
seizing or catching the workpiece. Always hold the
machine firmly, adopt a steady stance and focus on
your work.

Secure small workpieces. For example, clamp in a
vice.

Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Material containing asbestos
must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is

possible it shall be used.

- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is

recommended.

Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
