General safety instructions
To avoid malfunctions, damage and health impairments when working with the machine, the following
points must be observed in addition to the general rules for safe working:
•
Check the machine for completeness and function before starting. Only use the machine if the
separating and other non-separating protective devices required for machining have are fitted.
•
Make sure that the guards are in good working order and properly maintained.
•
Select a level, vibration-free surface as the installation area.
•
Ensure sufficient space around the machine!
•
Ensure sufficient lighting conditions at the workplace to avoid stroboscopic effects.
•
Ensure a clean working environment.
•
Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles.
•
Remove tool keys and other setting tools before switching on the machine.
•
Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the work-
ing area and secure it against unintentional or unauthorized restarting.
•
The machine may only be operated, maintained or repaired by persons who are familiar and
who have been informed about the dangers arising from this work.
•
Ensure that unauthorized persons keep a safety distance from the machine and keep children
away from the machine.
•
Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
•
Do not overload the machine!
•
Wear suitable protective equipment (ear protection)!
•
Never wear loose jewellery, loose clothing or accessories (e.g. tie, scarf).
•
Do not work on the machine if you are tired, not concentrated or under the influence of medi-
cation, alcohol or drugs!
•
Do not use the machine in areas where vapours of paints, solvents or flammable liquids repre-
sent a potential danger (danger of fire or explosion!).
•
Shut down the machine and disconnect it from the power supply, before adjustment, change-
over, cleaning, maintenance or repair work, etc. Before starting work on the machine, wait until
all tools or machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure the machine against
unintentional restart.
•
Warning signs and/or stickers on the machine that are illegible or have been removed must be
replaced immediately!
11.4
Electrical safety
•
Before commissioning, the machine and its electrical equipment (including power cable and
plug) should be checked to ensure that there is no defect.
•
Only use suitable extension cables. When using extension cables or mobile distribution net-
works, ensure that the resistance value does not exceed 1.5 Ω. As a guideline, the total length of
the cables should not exceed 60 m for a cross-section of 1.5 mm
2
and 100 m for a cross-section
of 2.5 mm
2
.
•
Considering the high mechanical forces, only durable rubber cables (IEC 245) or equivalent
equipment should be used.
•
A damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of electric shock. Handle the cable with care.
Never use the cable to carry, pull or disconnect the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
•
Use the machine only when the ON-OFF switch is in good working order.
