Safety note

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the belt may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your work
(e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood
and metal). Contact with these dusts, especially
inhaling them, can represent a hazard for operat-
ing personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply
with the safety regulations that apply in your coun-
try. Connect the electric power tool to a suitable
extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec-
tive mask.
- Before doing any work to the machine, fi rst re-
move the plug from the mains.
