1.1 General safety instructions for your safety and the safety of others
1. Keep theworking areatidy.
Cluttered surfaces and benches invite accidents.

Themachine should not be used on moist or wet surfaces or inrain. Makesure that thework area is welllit.
Whenworking in dusty atmospheres, make sure that theair is adequately circulated. Donot operate electric
machinery in areas where they can cause afire or explosion.
3. Reduce therisk of electric shocks.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators
when using electric machinery.
4. Keep children and bystandersaway.
Keep children and visitors at asafe distance from electric machinery and electric cables in theworkplace.
5. Store electric machinery out of thereach of children.

Do not force atool to perform atask that it was not designedfor.
8. Wear suitable attire.

movingparts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wearahairnet or similar if you have longhair.
9. Always use safety glasses.
Normal glasses are not tough enough to withstand impacts. Useadust mask or dust filter when working in
dusty environments.

If themachine is equipped with dust extraction equipment, ensure that it is connected and used properly.
Makesure to empty thedust bag regularly.
