2 Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Special safety precautions must be
observed when working with this
machine because of the very high
speed of its cutting attachment and
the fact that it is powered by electric-
ity.
Before commissioning, it is important
to read and understand the User
Manual and to keep it in a safe place
for future reference. Failure to
observe the User Manual may lead to
serious or even fatal injury.
Observe the national safety regulations issued,
e.g. by the employers' liability insurance associa-
tion, social security institutions, occupational
safety and health authorities and other organiza-
tions.
If you have not used this machine before: Have
your dealer or other experienced user show you
how to handle your machine safely or attend a
specialist course.
Minors should never be allowed to use the
machine - except for young trainees over the
age of 16 when working under supervision.
Children, animals and onlookers must not be
allowed near the machine.
When the machine is not in use, shut it off so
that it does not endanger others. Secure it
against unauthorized use and disconnect the
mains plug.
The user is responsible for accidents or risks
involving third parties or their property.
Do not pass on or lend the machine to persons
who are not familiar with this model and its han-
dling - always include the User Manual.
Persons who are not able to operate the power
tool safely due to limited physical, sensory or
mental ability may work with it only under super-
vision or after being instructed appropriately by a
responsible person.
The use of noise-emitting power tools may be
restricted to certain times by national or local
regulations.
Before each use, check that the unit is in proper
condition. Pay special attention to the connecting
cable, mains plug and safety devices.
