cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
3.6 When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
4 Personal Safety
4.1 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention when operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
4.2 Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
4.3 Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
4.4 Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
4.5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
4.6 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
5. Tool Use and Care
5.1 Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
5.2 Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
5.3 Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
5.4 Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
5.5 Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5.6 Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
5.7 Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
5.8 Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one
tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
6 SERVICE
6.1 Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
6.2 When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.

Specific Safety Rules

Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning label.
Wheels and other accessories running over rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool pay
attention to all parts of the text that
are marked with this symbol!
During machining, of metals
in particular, conductive dust
can form deposits inside the
machine. This can lead to the
transfer of electrical energy onto the machine
housing. This can mean a temporary danger of
electric shocks. This is why it is necessary when
the machine is running to blow compressed air
through the rear ventilation slots of the machine
regularly, frequently and thoroughly. Here, the
machine must be held firmly.
It is advisable to superpose a residual current
operated device (FI circuit-breaker) with a max.
breaking current of (30 mA).
