Working with the machine

Observe the following information:
– Only guide the power tool towards the
workpiece when it is switched on.
– A significant increase in the force required
to advance the machine and slow working
progress are indicators that the blades are
worn.
– Hold the power tool by the gripping sur­
face [1-3] with both hands to ensure safe
guidance. Do not cover the cooling air
openings [1-4] with your hand. Otherwise
there is a risk of the machine overheating.
– Do not hold the power tool by the battery
pack.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a way
that it cannot move during machining.
