netic field during operation. This field can impair ac-
tive or passive medical implants under certain condi-
tions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical
implants consult with their physician and the manu-
facturer of the medical implant prior to operating the
electric tool.
Residual risks m
The machine is built on the basis of the latest
technology and in accordance with the recog-
nised technical safety rules. Nevertheless, indi-
vidual residual risks can occur while working.
• Risk of injury from rotating parts
• Risk from power where improper electrical con-
necting cables are used
• Further, indeterminate residual risks may remain
even after taking all relevant preventive measures.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the safety in-
structions and conditions for proper use, as well as
the operating instructions, are observed
Electrical connection m
The installed electric motor is connected in opera-
tion-ready condition. The connection corresponds to
the common VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer-side mains connection, as well as
the used extension cable, must correspond to these
specifications.
Important Instructions
In case of overload, the motor is switched off auto-
matically.
The motor can be activated again after a cooling pe-
riod (different times for different models).
Damaged Electrical Connecting Cables
Electrical connecting cables frequently experience
insulation damage.
The causes are:
• Pressure points, if connecting cables are routed
through windows or doors.
• Kinks, due to improper mounting or routing of the
connecting cables.
• Cuts due to connecting cables being run over.
• Insulation damages due to tearing away from the
wall socket.
