voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool
• Always mount auxiliary handle F 2 and protective guard
G 2; never use the tool without them
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable

as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and
work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Be careful when cutting grooves, especially in supporting
walls (slots in supporting walls are subject to country-
specific regulations; these regulations are to be observed
under all circumstances)
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• Do not clamp the tool in a vice

capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
DURING USE
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
