4 Special Safety Instructions
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool pay
attention to all parts of the text that
are marked with this symbol!
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments or servicing are performed.
Use the additional handles supplied with the
tool. Loss of control can lead to injuries.
Work only with the additional handle correctly
installed.
Always hold the machine with both hands at the
intended handles, take a secure stance and
concentrate on the work.
Always wear protective goggles, gloves, a dust
mask and sturdy shoes when working with this
tool.
Wear ear muffs. Exposure to noise can cause loss
of hearing.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
using a metal detector).
Hold the power tool only at insulated housing
parts if there is any danger of making contact
with concealed electric cables or the supply
cable. Contact with live wires energises the metal
parts of the housing and can cause electric shock
to the operator.
Work only with a correctly positioned tool. Pull on
the tool to check that it is correctly seated. (The tool
must move a few centimetres in axial direction.)
When working above ground level, ensure that the
area below you is clear.
Never touch the tool or parts near the tool directly
after work because they may be extremely hot and
can cause burns to the skin,
