containing asbestos, metals
or some wood types) which
can present a hazard to the
operator or persons in the
vicinity. Make sure that the
workplace is well ventilated.
Always wear safety goggles,
safety gloves and respiratory
protection. Attach a dust ex-
traction system.
1) SPECIAL SAFETY INFORMATION
FOR THE CORDLESS COMBINA-
TION TOOL
• Hold the electric tool by the in-
sulated handle surfaces when
performing work where the
screw may come into contact
with hidden wiring. Contact of the
screw with a live wire can also cause
a charge in metal parts of the appli-
ance and result in an electric shock.
•
Use suitable detectors in order
to fi nd hidden supply lines or
ask the local utility company.
Contact with electrical cables can lead
to electric shock and fi re, contact with
a gas pipe can result in an explosion.
Damage to a water pipe can lead to
property damaged and electric shock.
•
Secure the workpiece. A work-
piece that is retained with clamping
appliances or a vice is held more se-
curely than with your hand.
•
Be very careful when handling
tools such as saws, scraper
blades and drills. These are sharp
and present an injury hazard.
•
Wear safety gloves when
changing attachments. This ena-
bles you to avoid injuries if the appli-
ance attachment has heated up after
use.
2) SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
SAWING BACK AND FORTH
• Hold the electric tool by the in-
sulated gripping surfaces when
performing work in which the
cutting tool may come into con-
tact with hidden wiring. Contact
with a live wire can also cause a
charge in metal parts of the device and
result in an electric shock.
• Fasten and secure the workpie-
ce by means of clamps or with
another method on a stable un-
derground. If you hold the workpiece
only with your hand or against your
own body, it will stay instable and this
can lead to a loss of control.
•
Keep hands away from the
sawing area. Do not reach
underneath the workpiece. Al-
ways stand to the side of the
saw when working. Upon contact
with the blade there is a risk of injury.
•
Only when the electric tool is
turned on should the sawing
blade be moved against the
workpiece. There is a risk of kickback
if the tool insert jams in the workpiece.
•
Make sure that the footplate
is securely placed against the
workpiece during sawing. The
sawblade can tilt and lead to loss of
control over the power tool.
After you have fi nished work, turn
•
the power tool off and do not
pull the sawblade out of the cut
until it has come to a standstill.
In this way you will avoid any kickback
and can safely put down the power tool.
•
Use only undamaged saw-
blades in perfect condition. Bent
or blunt blades can break, adversely
affect the cut or cause kickback.
