7enThis double-insulated power tool is equippedwith a polarized plug (one contact is wider thanthe other). The plug will only fit into the polar-ized socket outlet in one position. Turn the plugif it does not fit completely into the socket out-let. If the plug still does not fit, have a qualifiedelectrician install a polarized socket outlet. Donot modify or alter the plug under any circum-stances. Double-insulated power tools nei-ther require a three-core power cable nor apower connection with ground contact.Operate the power tool only off power supplieswhose voltage and frequency values corre-spond with the values on the type plate of thepower tool.If operating a power tool in a damp location isunavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD) protected supply. Using special rubberprotective gloves and footwear increasesyour own safety.NOTE: Such a device is also known as groundfault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or earth leak-age circuit breaker (ELCB).Use clamps or another practical way to secureand support the workpiece to a stable platform.Holding the work by hand or against yourbody leaves it unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.Before mounting or replacing application toolsor accessories, pull the power plug. This pre-ventive safety measure rules out the danger ofinjuries through accidental starting of thepower tool.Use appropriate detectors to determine if utilitylines are hidden in the work area or call thelocal utility company for assistance. Contactwith electric lines can lead to fire and electricshock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-sion. Penetrating a water line causes propertydamage or may cause an electric shock.Do not direct the power tool against yourself,other persons or animals. Danger of injuryfrom sharp or hot application tools.Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signsonto the power tool. If the insulation is dam-aged, protection against an electric shock willbe ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-mended.Always work using the auxiliary handle. Theauxiliary handle ensures reliable guidance ofthe power tool.Before putting into operation, check the mainconnection and the main plug for damage.Handling hazardous dustsWhen working with powertools, such as when grinding,sanding, polishing, sawing or for other workprocedures where material is removed, dustsdevelop that are both hazardous to one’s healthand can spontaneously combust or be explo-sive.Contact with or inhaling some dust types cantrigger allergic reactions to the operator orbystanders and/or lead to respiratory infec-tions, cancer, birth defects or other repro-ductive harm.Examples of such materials and therein con-tained chemicals, where hazardous dusts candevelop when working them, are:– Asbestos and materials containing asbestos;– Lead-containing coatings, some wood typessuch as beech and oak;– Minerals and metal;– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete andother materials containing stone;– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/var-nish;– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-servatives;– Materials for pesticide treatment on bootand ship hulls.To minimise the unwanted intake of thesematerials:– Use dust extraction matched appropriatelyfor the developing dust.– Use personal protective equipment, such asa P2 filter-class dust protection mask.– Provide for good ventilation of the work-place.WARNING3 41 01 130 21 0.book Seite 7 Freitag, 18.
