risk of fire, electrical shock and bodily injury as low as
possible.
Read the following instructions before you begin to operate
this product. Keep these instructions available for future
consultation.
• Keep your work space clean. Cluttered areas and work
benches are often a source of injuries.
• Pay attention to your work environment. Do not leave
your tools in the rain. Do not use electrical tools in damp
or wet areas. See that your work space is adequately lit.
Do not use electrical tools in the presence of inflamma-
ble fluids or gasses
• Protect yourself from electrical shocks. Avoid bodily con-
tact with electrically earthed surfaces
• Deny entry to unauthorized persons. Do not allow oth-
er persons, in particular children, to participate in the
work, to touch equipment or tools or extension leads and
do not allow them entry to the workplace.
• Lock away tools that are not being used. Tools not cur-
rently in use should be stored in a dry, locked place, out
of reach of children.
• Treat your tools gently. In this way you will be able to
carry out your work better and more quickly.
• Use the correct tools. Do not use small tools for jobs
that are better accomplished with power tools. Do not
use tools for purposes for which they were not made: for
instance do not use a circular saw to cut a log or tree
stump.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery which could get caught in the moving parts.
Nonslip shoes are recommended for work out of doors.
If you have long hair, we recommend a hair net.
• Use protective gear. Wear safety glasses. Wear a face or
dust mask when dust is created in the process of saw-
ing.
• Use a dust control unit. If equipment for dust control is
available, see that it is connected and correctly used.
• Be careful with the cables. Never pull on a cable to re-
move the plug from the socket. Be careful that electrical
cables do not come into contact with heat, oil or sharp
edges.
• Make sure that your tools are securely fitted. Insofar as
it is possible, secure your tools with clamps or a vice.
These are more secure than your hands.
• Do not lean over too far. Always pay attention to a secure
position and balance.
• Be careful with your tools. Be sure that the cutting edges
are sharp and clean in order to work better and more
securely.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions in the lubrication
and changing of accessories. Check the main electrical
cable regularly, and ask an authorized service dealer
to exchange cables should they prove to be damaged.
Regularly check the extension leads and exchange these
should they be damaged. Be sure that grips are dry,
clean and free from oil and dirt.
• Unplug your tools from the electrical source before they
are serviced or before accessories such as blades, cut-
ters and other parts are exchanged. They should also be
unplugged when not in use.
• Remove adjustment screws or spanners. Make a habit of
checking if adjustment screws or spanners are removed
before the tool is switched on.
• Avoid unintentional startups. Check whether the on/off
switch is in the "off" position before plugging in the
main cable.
• Use extension leads designed for outdoor use. Should

leads that are appropriate to this situation.

ple common sense and do not use this equipment when

rectly repaired or exchanged by the customer service de-
partment, unless this document indicates otherwise.
