given supervision or instruction concer-
ning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• Keep the equipment well away from by-
standers, children and pets. Turn off the

ways wear a face shield or goggles as

Before starting up the equipment al-
ways check that the equipment is in a
perfectly safe condition, especially the
power cable, the switch and the protec-
tive cover. Never disconnect or remove
any protective devices. This ensures that
the equipment remains safe.

This enables you to control the equip-
ment better in unexpected situations.

ing drunk alcohol or taken medication.
Always take a work break in due time.
