Initial Operation - Carat Rg-1250 Betriebsanleitung

Impurities that manage to enter the machine
may block the switching mechanism. This is why, when the
machine is running, it is necessary to blow compressed air
through the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly,
frequently and thoroughly. The machine must be held
firmly in this case.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and
load-bearing walls (building structure). Pull the plug out of
the socket before making any adjustments, converting or
servicing the machine. A damaged or cracked side handle
must be replaced. Never operate the machine with a
defective additional handle. A damaged or cracked safety
guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a
defective safety guard.
Only use accessories that are surmounted by brushes of the
safety guard. Only use the guard supplied: The wrong guard
can lead to loss of control, insuff icient shielding, increased
risk from dust exposure and serious injury. Use authorised
tools only.
Reduce dust exposure:
Some dust created by using this power tool may
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic
reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead
from leadbased paints, crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromi-
um from chemically-treated lumber, hard wood like oak or
beech, metals, asbestos.
The risk from these exposures depends on how long you or
bystanders are being exposed. Do not let particles enter the
body. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials, such as some
timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos.
Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff , ap-
plication and place of application (e.g. occupational health
and safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories
for special work (see chapter 11.), thus less particles enter
the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable
extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
• For eff icient dust collection, use a suitable Carat
18
M-class vacuum cleaner together with this power tool.
• Do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air
stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits.
• Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
• Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean
using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust
• Vacuum or wash the protective clothing
Do not blow, beat or brush.

6. INITIAL OPERATION

Before plugging in the machine, check that the
rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as
specified on the rating label, match your powersupply.
Australia: Always use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply with a rated residual current of
30 mA or less.
6.1 Fitting of bar auxiliary handle
Always work with the bar auxiliary handle (1)
attached! Fit the bar auxiliary handle as shown (see
illustration A, page 2).
• Fit locking discs (3) to the left and right of the gear
housing.
• Fit the bar auxiliary handle (1) at the gear housing.
• Insert the thumb screws (2) left and right into the bar
auxiliary handle (1) and turn gently.
• Adjust the bar auxiliary handle (1) to the required angle.
• Firmly tighten the thumb screws (2) to the left and right
manually.
