Safety Notes - Westfalia AMFW18 Betriebsanleitung

Please note the included General Safety Notes and
the following safety notes to avoid malfunctions,
damage or physical injury:
WARNING: Contact with electric or gas lines can lead to fire,
electric shock and explosions. Penetrating a water line can result
in damage to property and electric shock. Use appropriate
detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area.
Always be extremely careful when making blind and pocket cuts
where the exit point of the blade or accessory at the other side of
the material cannot be seen.
WARNING: Asbestos may be in materials and textured coatings
in older properties and should be treated with extreme caution. If
you suspect or discover asbestos consult your local health and
safety authority immediately for advice on its removal. It may
require the services of a specialist asbestos removal company.
WARNING: If a cutting accessory makes contact with a 'live'
wire, the exposed metal parts of the power tool may become 'live'
and could give the operator an electric shock. Hold the power tool
by the insulated gripping surfaces at all times during use.
WARNING: Do not work with damp or wet materials or accesso-
ries that require liquid coolants. Liquids entering the body of the
tool is an electrical hazard as well as likely to destroy the tool.
WARNING: The dust produced from working with some materials
can be toxic. Beech, oak, mahogany and teak natural woods,
man-made composite woods and some surface treatments
including paint with lead are toxic. Lead-based paint is common
in buildings pre-1960. Always wear suitable respiratory protec-
tion, for example, a respirator face mask. Ideally also use a dust-
extraction system or regularly vacuum the work area to prevent
the build-up of dust and do a final vacuum after the work is
completed. Most dust is a fire hazard. Overhead work surfaces
have an increased safety risk for dust.
