• Protect yourself from electric shock
– Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e. g.
pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling units).
• Keep other persons away.
– Do not allow other persons, especially children,
to touch the power tool or the cable. Keep them
away from your work area.
• Securely store unused electric tools
– Unused power tools should be stored in a dry,
elevated or closed location out of the reach of
children.
• Do not overload your electric tool
– They work better and more safely in the specified
output range.
• Use the correct power tool
– Do not use low-output power tools for heavy work.
– Do not use the power tool for purposes for which it
is not intended. For example, do not use handheld
circular saws for the cutting of branches or logs.
• Dress properly
– Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery, which can
become entangled in moving parts.
– When working outdoors, anti-slip footwear is rec-
ommended.
– Tie long hair back in a hair net.
• Use protective equipment
– Wear safety goggles.
– Wear a mask when carrying out dust-creating
work.
• Connect the dust extraction device if you will be pro-
cessing wood, materials similar to wood, or plastics.
– If connections for dust extraction and a collecting
device are present, make sure that they are con-
nected and used properly.
– When processing wood, materials similar to wood,
and plastics. operation in enclosed spaces is only
permitted with the use of a suitable extraction sys-
tem.
• Do not use the cable for purposes for which it is
not intended
– Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
outlet. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
• Secure the workpiece
– Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. It is thus held more securely
than with your hand and allows the machine to be
operated with both hands.
– An additional support is necessary for long work-
pieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to prevent the
machine from tipping over.

– Always press the workpiece firmly against the
working plate and stop in order to prevent bounc-
ing and twisting of the workpiece.
• Avoid abnormal posture
– Make sure that you have secure footing and al-
ways maintain your balance.
– Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden
slip could cause one or both hands to come into
contact with the cutter.
• Take care of your tools
– Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be
able to work better and more safely.
– Follow the instructions for lubrication and for tool
replacement.
– Check the connection cable of the power tool
regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
– Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
– Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
• Pull the connector out of the socket
– Never remove loose fragments chips or jammed
wood pieces from the running cutter.
– When the power tool is not in use or prior to main-
tenance and when replacing tools such as saw
blades, bits, milling heads.
– If the cutter jams during cutting due to excessive
feeding force, switch off the device and disconnect
it from the mains.
– Remove the workpiece and make sure that the cutter
runs freely. Switch the device on and carry out the
cutting operation again with reduced feeding force.
• Do not leave a tool key inserted
– Before switching on, make sure that keys and ad-
justing tools are removed.
• Avoid inadvertent starting
– Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
• Use extension cables for outdoors
– Only use approved and appropriately identified
extension cables for use outdoors.
– Only use cable reels in the unrolled state.
• Always remain attentive
– Pay attention to what you are doing. Remain sensi-
ble when working. Do not use the power tool when
you are distracted.
• Check the power tool for potential damage
– Protective devices or other parts with minor dam-
age must be carefully inspected to ensure that
they function correctly and as intended prior to
continued use of the power tool.
