installed.
Always hold the machine with both hands using
the handles provided, stand securely and concen-

Always wear protective goggles, gloves, a dust
mask and sturdy shoes when working with this
tool.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
Always work with the tool attached correctly. Pull
on the tool to check that it is seated correctly. (It
must be possible to move the tool a few centime-
tres in an axial direction.)
When working above ground level, make sure that
the area underneath is free.
Do not touch the tool or parts close to the tool
immediately after stopping work because they
may still be extremely hot and could cause skin
burns.
Always lay the power cable away from the back of
the machine.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive additional handle.
