For Your Safety

Working safely with this machine
is possible only when the operat-
ing and safety information are
read completely and the instruc-
tions contained
strictly followed. In addition, the
general safety instructions in the
enclosed booklet must be fol-
lowed.
Before using for the first time,
ask for a practical demonstra-

If the mains cable is damaged or cut
through while working, do not touch
the cable but immediately pull the
mains plug. Never use the machine
with a damaged cable.
Wear ear protection.
Wear safety goggles.
The dust that is produced while
working can be detrimental to
health, inflammable or explosive.
Suitable safety measures are re-
quired.
Examples: Some dusts are re-
