General safety advice for electrical power tools

c)

Pull the mains plug from the socket
before you make any adjustments to
the device, change accessories or when
the device is put away.
This precaution is
intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.

d)

When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone use
the device if he or she is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions
and advice.
Electrical power tools are danger-
ous when they are used by inexperienced people.

e)

Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device.
Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.

f)

Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.

g)

Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.

Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist

Safety advice relating

specifically to this multi-

function tool

When working, hold the electrical
power tool firmly with both hands and
keep a proper footing and balance.
It
is safer to guide the electrical power tool using
both hands.

Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held
in a clamp or vice is kept more securely in
place than one held by your hand.

Keep your working area clean. Mixtures
of materials can be particularly dangerous.
Light metal alloy dust may burn or explode.

Do not operate the device if the mains
lead or mains plug is damaged.

Do not touch the mains lead if it be-
comes damaged or cut through while
you are using the device.
Pull the plug
out of the mains socket immediately and have
the device repaired by a suitably qualified per-
son or at your service centre. Damaged mains
leads increase the risk of electric shock.

Wear protective gloves when
replacing a tool in the device.
Tools heat up with prolonged use.

Use the electrical power tool only for
dry abrading / sawing / cutting.

Do not operate the device if it is damp
and do not use it in a damp environ-
ment.
Water entering an electrical device in-
creases the risk of electric shock.

Keep your hands away from the area
of the saw blade.
Do not grip the underside
of the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade
may result in injury.

Use a suitable detector to locate con-
cealed services supply cables / pipes
or approach your local public utilities
services providers.
Contact with electricity
cables can lead to fire or electric shock.
Damaging a gas pipe can lead to an explo-
sion. Penetration of a water pipe can lead to
property damage or to electric shock.

If you use the device outdoors, always
connect it through a residual current
