tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for outdoor use
and so marked.

Use common sense. Do not operate

If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and
properly used.
• Check damaged parts. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine whether it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting
and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorised service centre
unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorised service
centre. Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.

personal injury.
