• Inspect the machine before each use. Never operate
the machine if safety devices (e.g. impact protector,
parts of the cutting facility or bolts) are missing, worn
out or damaged. Check the power cable and starting
lever (if any) for damage. To avoid imbalance, all tools
and bolts must be changed as complete sets.
• Only use spare parts and accessories that have been
supplied or recommended by the manufacturer. The
use of alien parts results in the immediate loss of all
guarantee claims.
• Ensure that all nuts, bolts and screws are rmly
tightened and that the machine is in a safe working
condition.
• Never try to repair the machine yourself, unless you
have been trained accordingly. All work that has not
been listed in these instructions must only be carried
out by authorised servicing agencies.
• Treat the machine with the greatest care. Always keep
the tool clean. Follow the maintenance instructions.
• Never overload the machine. Always work within
the specied capacity range. Do not use low-power
machines for heavy-duty work. Do not operate the
machine for purposes for which it is not intended.
Electrical safety:
CAUTION!
The following states how to avoid accidents and
injuries due to electric shock:
• Before each use, carry out a visual inspection of the
power and extension cord for any signs of damage
or ageing. Damaged mains power cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Connect the machine to a power socket with a
residual-current circuit breaker that has a rated
current of no more than 30 mA.
• Always keep the extension cable well away from
the cutting tools. Should the power cable become
damaged during work, instantly disconnect the
power cable from the mains. DO NOT TOUCH
THE POWER CABLE BEFORE IT HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS! Risk of electric
shock.
• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is
damaged the appliance should be scrapped.
• Keep extension cable away from blades and other
moving parts. They may damage the cable and
result in contact with live parts.
• Check that the mains voltage is the same as
indicated on the rating plate.
Maintenance and storage
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the
machine is in a safe working condition.
• Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
• Ensure that only the recommended replacement
cutting blades are tted.
