Safety and operating instructions

Working area

DANGER Explosion hazard
If a warm machine comes into contact with
explosives, an explosion could occur. During
operating with certain materials, sparks and ignition
can occur. Explosions will lead to severe injuries or
death.
Never operate the machine in any explosive
►
environment.
► Never use the machine near flammable materials,
fumes or dust.
Make sure that there are no undetected sources
►
of gas or explosives.
WARNING Secure the working area
Cluttered benches and insufficient lighting can cause
personal accidents and result in serious injuries.
► Keep the working area clean.
Maintain adequate lighting in the working area.
►
Only qualified and trained persons may operate or
maintain the machine. They must be physically able
to handle the bulk, weight, and power of the machine.
Always use your common sense and good
judgement.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating the machine. Distractions may cause loss
of control.

Electrical safety

WARNING Electrical safety
There is a risk of electrical shock if the electrical
cable is not treated correctly, if the machine is
damaged or modified. This can lead to serious
injuries or death.
The electrical plug on the machine must match
►
the socket.
Never modify the electrical plug to match the
►
socket.
► Do not use adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
machines.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will
reduce the risk of electrical shock.
► Never move the machine by dragging the electrical
cable.
Disconnect the cable only by pulling the plug,
►
never pull the electrical cable.
Make sure the electrical cable is not pinched in
►
doors, fences or similar.
► Check that the electrical cable and cable plug are
intact and in good condition.
Never connect a damaged electrical cable to the
►
machine.
Never touch the electrical cable if it becomes
►
damaged during the work. Disconnect the
electrical cable plug from the socket.
► Always make sure that the electrical cable is kept
away from water, oil and sharp edges.
► Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet
conditions.
If water enters the machine, there is an increased
risk of electrical shock.
► Use a residual current device (RCD) protected
supply, if the machine must be operated in a damp
location.
The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electrical
shock.
