The S2 - 30 min indicates a load profile of 30 min load and 30 min idle time

The numerical values given are emission levels and not necessarily safe working levels. Although there is a correlation between the emission levels and the acceptable exposure levels, they cannot be reliably used to determine whether or not any additional safety measures are necessary. The characteristics of the work space, other sources of noise, i.e. the number of machines and other processes running in the vicinity and so on, are all factors that can influence the actual exposure levels of the employees. Moreover, the acceptable exposure levels can vary from country to country. This information should enable the machine's operator to carry out a better assessment of the risks and hazards.

Read and understand the operating instructions before using the appliance. Familiarise with the

control elements and how to use the appliance properly. Abide by all the safety measures stated in the service manual. Act responsibly toward third parties.

The operator is responsible for accidents or risks to third parties.

Persons over 16 years of age can only work on the appliance. An exception includes youngsters trained in order to reach knowledge under supervision of the trainer during occupational education.

In case of any doubts about connection and operation refer please to our customer center

General safety information

WARNING!

When using electric tools the following general safety instructions must be obeyed to protect yourself from electric shocks, injury and fire risks.

Read all these instructions before using this electric tool and keep the safety instruction in a safe place.

Keep your work area clean and tidy. Untidy work places and workbenches increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

Do not expose the appliance to rain and do not use it in wet or moisture conditions.

Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions when working with the machine.

Do not work with electric tools in conditions with flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks able to ignite dust or fumes.

Protect yourself from electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed objects (for example pipes, radiators, electric stoves and cooling units). There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Do not touch the electric tool or the cable. When not concentrated, you may lose control over the machine.

Ensure that you store electric tools in a safe place. Tools which are not in used must be stored in a dry place as high as possible out of the reach of children or in an inaccessible place.

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use low-power machines for heavy work.

Do not use the electric tool for purposes for which it is not designed. For example, do not use a manual circular saw for cutting branches or logs.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. We recommend that you wear non-slip shoes when working outdoors. Wear a hairnet if you have long hair.

Use protective equipment which fit you. Wear safety goggles and ear protection at all times. A dust mask or respirator is also required. Wear tight-fitting gloves at all times when handling sharp blades and saw blades,

If dust exhausters and catchers are to be installed, make sure they are fitted and used properly. Using a dust exhauster may reduce the exposure to dust.

Do not use the cable in conflict with its designation, to carry or hang electric tools or to pull the plug out of socket. Protect the cable against high temperatures, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the machine. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of electric shock.

Avoid any abnormal body posture. Provide good stability and keep balance at all times. By this, electric tools are better controlled in unexpected situations.

Treat electric tools carefully. Check whether the moving parts work perfectly and do not drag, whether not broken or damaged to such an extent that functioning of electric tools could be affected. Have any damaged parts repaired before using the machine. Poor maintenance of electric tools is a cause of many injuries.

Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully treated cutting tools with sharp edges get stuck less often and are easier to guide.

Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing tools.

Check the connection cable on the electric tool at regular intervals and have it replaced by an expert if it is damaged.

Check the extension cables at regular intervals and replace them if they are damaged.

Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.

Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery when the tool is not in use before you make machine settings or change accessories, such as the saw blade, drill bit or cutter. This safety measure prevents unintentional starting of the electric tool.

Before starting any electric tool, remove any adjusting wrenches and screwdrivers. A tool or a wrench present in the rotating part of the machine may lead to injuries.

Prevent the machine from unintentional starting. Before plugging and/or connecting the machine to battery, handling or carrying, make sure the electric tools are switched off. Having a finger on the switch when carrying the electric tool or when the machine is on when plugging it may lead to injuries.

If you wish to work outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables which are approved for outdoor use and are marked accordingly. Using an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when working with electric tools. Do not use electric tools when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or pharmaceuticals. A moment if inattention when using electric tools may lead to serious injuries.

Check the machine for any damage. Before using the equipment again, the protective equipment must carefully be checked if safe and working as designated.

Check the moving parts for perfect functioning, if working smoothly and if no parts are damaged. To provide safe operation of the equipment, all parts must be installed properly and meet all conditions.

Damaged protective equipment and parts must be professionally repaired or replaced by a recognised professional workshop, unless otherwise specified in the Operating Instructions.

Do not use electric tools with a defective switch. An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired. Damaged switches must be replaced in a customer service workshop. WARNING The use of other tools and other accessories may pose an injury risk for you.

Have your electric tool repaired by an electrician. This electric tools complies with the relevant safety regulations. Repairs may only be carried out by an electrician using genuine spare parts; otherwise the user may suffer accidents.

Risk of injury!

Keep body parts and clothes away from rotating parts of the device.

The machine must be secured to the floor using suitable screws since otherwise there is a risk that it will tip over. In the event of a blockage, switch off the machine immediately. Pull out the mains plug and remove the jammed workpiece.

Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.

Mains Connection
