This double-insulated power tool is equipped
with a polarized plug (one contact is wider than
the other). The plug will only fit into the polar-
ized socket outlet in one position. Turn the plug
if it does not fit completely into the socket out-
let. If the plug still does not fit, have a qualified
electrician install a polarized socket outlet. Do
not modify or alter the plug under any circum-
stances. Double-insulated power tools nei-
ther require a three-core power cable nor a
power connection with ground contact.
Operate the power tool only off power supplies
whose voltage and frequency values corre-
spond with the values on the type plate of the
power tool.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Using special rubber
protective gloves and footwear increases
your own safety.
NOTE: Such a device is also known as ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or earth leak-
age circuit breaker (ELCB).
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Handling hazardous dusts
When working with power
WARNING
tools, such as when grinding,
sanding, polishing, sawing or for other work
procedures where material is removed, dusts
develop that are both hazardous to one's health
and can spontaneously combust or be explo-
sive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or
bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions, cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.
Examples of such materials and therein con-
tained chemicals, where hazardous dusts can
develop when working them, are:
– Asbestos and materials containing asbestos;
– Lead-containing coatings, some wood types
such as beech and oak;
– Minerals and metal;
Before mounting or replacing application tools
or accessories, pull the power plug. This pre-
ventive safety measure rules out the danger of
injuries through accidental starting of the
power tool.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs
onto the power tool. If the insulation is dam-
aged, protection against an electric shock will
be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Always work using the auxiliary handle. The
auxiliary handle ensures reliable guidance of
the power tool.
Before putting into operation, check the main
connection and the main plug for damage.
– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete and
other materials containing stone;
– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/var-
nish;
– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
– Materials for pesticide treatment on boot
and ship hulls.
To minimise the unwanted intake of these
materials:
– Use dust extraction matched appropriately
for the developing dust.
– Use personal protective equipment, such as
a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
place.
