Special safety precautions must be
observed when operating a power
tool.
It is important you read and under-
stand the User Manual before com-
missioning and keep it in a safe place
for future reference. Non-compliance
with the User Manual may cause seri-
ous or even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety regulations,
e.g. by trade organizations, social insurance
institutions, labor safety authorities etc.
If you have not used this machine before: Have
your dealer or other experienced user show you
how to handle your machine safely or attend a
specialist course.
Minors must never work with the machine -
except for young people over the age of 16 who
are being trained under supervision.
Children, animals and bystanders must remain at
a distance.
When the machine is not in use, put it in a place
where it does not endanger others. Secure the
machine against unauthorized access.
The user is responsible for accidents or risks
involving third parties or their property.
Do not pass on or lend the machine to persons
who are not familiar with this model and its han-
dling - always include the User Manual.
In some countries the operation of noise emitting
