 Keep device and accessories in
good repair. Observe the mainte-
nance instructions.
 Prior to any use check the machine
for possible damage: before opera-
ting the machine all safety devices,
protective guards or slightly dama-
ged parts need to be checked for
proper function as specified. Check
to see that all moving parts work
properly and do not jam. All parts
must be correctly installed and meet
all conditions necessary for a proper
operation of the device.

tre. Do not operate tool if the switch
can not be turned ON or OFF.

eces or workpiece parts!
If blockage occurs:
1. Switch machine OFF.
2. Unplug mains cable.
