Hold power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may run into hidden
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reac-
tion torque can briefly occur while driving in
and loosening screws.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can de-
velop during working that is harmful to one's
health, combustible or explosive. Example:
Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip ex-
traction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of mate-
rials are particularly dangerous. Dust from
light alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the
On/Off switch is in the off position before in-
serting battery pack. Carrying the power tool
with your finger on the On/Off switch or in-
serting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
Do not open the battery. Danger of short-
circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g.,
also against continuous sun irradiation
and fire. There is danger of explosion.
