Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" posi-
tion before you insert the mains plug into the
socket. Accidents can happen if you carry the
device with your finger on the ON/OFF switch
or you have already switched the device on
before you connect it to the mains.

Remove any setting tools or spanners before
you switch the device on.
A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating
part of a device can lead to injury.
J
Do not overestimate your own abilities. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times. By
doing this you will be in a better position to
control the device in unforeseen circumstances.
J
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves clear of moving parts. If you have
long hair, wear a hair net. Clothing, jewellery
or hair that is loose or hangs from your body,
head or limbs can become trapped in moving
parts.
Careful handling and use

electrical power tool that is intended for the
task you are undertaking. By using the right
electrical power tool for the job you will work
more safely and achieve a better result.

Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch
is defective. An electrical power tool that can
no longer be switched on and off is dangerous
and must be repaired.

enced people.
J
Look after the device carefully. Check that
moving parts are working properly and move
freely. Check for any parts that are broken or
damaged enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have damaged parts
repaired before you use the device. Many
accidents have their origins in poorly main-
tained electrical power tools.
J
Use the electrical power tool, accessories,
inserted tools etc. in accordance with these
instructions and advice, and the stipulations
drawn up for this particular type of device. In
doing this, take into account the working condi-
tions and the task in hand. The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those
intended can lead to dangerous situations.
