Additional safety instructions

▶ Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you
accidentally damage an electric cable.
▶ Switch the product on only after bringing it to the working position.
▶ When working with the power tool, always guide it away from your body.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Always remove the battery when the power tool is not in use, before maintenance, before changing
accessory tools and in preparation for and throughout transport.

▶ The user and persons in the vicinity must wear suitable protective goggles, a hard hat, ear defenders,
protective gloves and light respiratory protection while the power tool is in use.
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class in compliance with the locally
applicable dust protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of
wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, if necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Only specialists are permitted to handle
material containing asbestos.

your fingers.

wear protective glasses and protective gloves.
▶ If work involves break-through, always secure the area on the side opposite where the work is carried
out.
Electrical safety
▶ Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the accessory
tool might come into contact with concealed wiring. If the accessory tool comes into contact with a live
wire, metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in an electric shock.
