General safety instructions
To avoid malfunctions, damage and health impairments when working with the machine, the following
points must be observed in addition to the general rules for safe working:
Check the machine for completeness and function before starting. Only use the machine if the
•
separating and other non-separating protective devices required for machining have are fitted.
Make sure that the guards are in good working order and properly maintained.
•
Select a level, vibration-free surface as the installation area.
•
Ensure sufficient space around the machine!
•
Ensure sufficient lighting conditions at the workplace to avoid stroboscopic effects.
•
•
Ensure a clean working environment.
•
Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles.
•
Remove tool keys and other setting tools before switching on the machine.
•
Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the work-
ing area and secure it against unintentional or unauthorized restarting.
•
The machine may only be operated, maintained or repaired by persons who are familiar and
who have been informed about the dangers arising from this work.
•
Ensure that unauthorized persons keep a safety distance from the machine and keep children
away from the machine.
Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
•
•
Do not overload the machine!
•
Wear suitable protective equipment (ear protection)!
Never wear loose jewellery, loose clothing or accessories (e.g. tie, scarf).
•
Do not work on the machine if you are tired, not concentrated or under the influence of medi-
•
cation, alcohol or drugs!
•
Do not use the machine in areas where vapours of paints, solvents or flammable liquids repre-
sent a potential danger (danger of fire or explosion!).
•
Shut down the machine and disconnect it from the power supply, before adjustment, change-
over, cleaning, maintenance or repair work, etc. Before starting work on the machine, wait until
all tools or machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure the machine against
unintentional restart.
Warning signs and/or stickers on the machine that are illegible or have been removed must be
•
replaced immediately!
11.4
Electrical safety
Before commissioning, the machine and its electrical equipment (including power cable and
•
plug) should be checked to ensure that there is no defect.
•
Only use suitable extension cables. When using extension cables or mobile distribution net-
works, ensure that the resistance value does not exceed 1.5 Ω. As a guideline, the total length of
the cables should not exceed 60 m for a cross-section of 1.5 mm
of 2.5 mm
.

Considering the high mechanical forces, only durable rubber cables (IEC 245) or equivalent
•
equipment should be used.
A damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of electric shock. Handle the cable with care.
•
Never use the cable to carry, pull or disconnect the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
•
Use the machine only when the ON-OFF switch is in good working order.
