5. Personal protection.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust
mask whenever the operations may produce
dust or flying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a
safety helmet at all times.
6. Guard against electric shock.
Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces
(e.g., pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators). When using the tool under
extreme conditions (e.g., high humidity, when
metal swarf is being produced, etc.), electric
safety can be improved by inserting an isolating
transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-
breaker.
7. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
8. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate the tool when you are tired.
9. Secure workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece. It
is safer and it frees both hands to operate the
tool.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches
are removed from the tool before operating the
tool.
12. Extension cables.

replace if damaged. When using the tool
outdoors, only use extension cables intended

13. Use appropriate tool.
The intended use is described in this instruction
manual. Do not force small tools or attachments

14. Check for damaged parts.
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains
cable for damage. Check for misalignment and
