Always wear protective goggles, dust mask, gloves,
ear protectors and sturdy shoes when working with

Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical
cables and load-bearing walls (static).
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
A damaged or cracked side handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective
side handle.
A damaged or cracked safety guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective

Do not switch on the machine if tool parts or guard
devices are missing or defective.
Reduce dust exposure:
Some of the dust created using this power tool
may contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-
based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products, arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard
wood like oak or beech, metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long you or bystanders are being
exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce your exposure to these substances: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.
