m Safety instructions
Attention! The following basic safety measures must
be observed when using electric tools for protection
against electric shock, and the risk of injury and fire.
Read all these notices before using the electric tool
and keep the safety instructions for later reference.
Safe work
1 Keep the work area orderly
– Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.
2 Take environmental influences into account
– Do not expose electric tools to rain.
– Do not use electric tools in a damp or wet en-
vironment.
– Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated.
– Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
3 Protect yourself from electric shock
– Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e.g.
pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling units).
4 Keep other persons away
– Do not let persons, especially children, not in-
volved in the work touch the tool or the extension
cord and keep them away from the work area.
5 Securely store unused electric tools
– Unused electric tools should be stored in a dry,
elevated or closed location out of the reach of
children.
6 Do not overload your electric tool
– They work better and more safely in the speci-
fied output range.
7 Use the correct electric tool
– Do not use low-output electric tools for heavy
work.
– Do not use the electric tool for purposes for
which it is not intended. For example, do not
use handheld circular saws for the cutting of
branches or logs.
8 Wear suitable clothing
– Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery, which
can become entangled in moving parts.
– When working outdoors, anti-slip footwear is
recommended.
– Tie long hair back in a hair net.
9 Use protective equipment
– Wear protective goggles.
– Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating
work.
10 Connect the dust extraction device if you will be
processing wood, materials similar to wood, or
plastics.
– If connections for dust extraction and a collect-
ing device are present, make sure that they are
connected and used properly.
– When processing wood, materials similar to
wood, and plastics. Operation in enclosed
spaces is only permitted with the use of a suit-
able extraction system.
11 Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is
not intended
– Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of
the outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
12 Secure the workpiece
– Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held
more securely than with your hand.
– An additional support is necessary for long
workpieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to pre-
vent the machine from tipping over.
– Always press the workpiece firmly against
the working plate and stop in order to prevent
bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.
13 Avoid abnormal posture
– Make sure that you have secure footing and
always maintain your balance.
– Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sud-
den slip could cause one or both hands to come
into contact with the cutter bit.
14 Take care of your tools
– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to
be able to work better and more safely.
– Follow the instructions for lubrication and for
tool replacement.
– Check the connection cable of the electric tool
regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
– Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
– Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
15 Pull the plug out of the outlet
– Never remove loose splinters, chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running cutter bit.
– During non-use of the electric tool or prior to
maintenance and when replacing tools such as
saw blades, bits, milling heads.
– When the cutter bit is blocked due to abnormal
feed force during cutting, turn the machine off
and disconnect it from power supply. Remove
the work piece and ensure that the cutter bit
runs free. Turn the machine on and start new
cutting operation with reduced feed force.
16 Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and
adjusting tools are removed.
17 Avoid inadvertent starting
– Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
18 Use extension cables for outdoors
– Only use approved and appropriately identified
extension cables for use outdoors.
– Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
19 Remain attentive
– Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain
sensible when working. Do not use the electric
tool when you are distracted.
