ROTHENBERGER Universal ROTIGER VARIO Electronic - Manual (Page 14)

13 ENGLISH
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tools operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Use the power tool, accessories and blades
etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Service
Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
-WARNING- To reduce the risk of injury, user
must read instruction manual.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing
and grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, 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
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, always wear
NIOSH/OSHA approved, properly fitting face
mask or respirator when using such tools.
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
2. Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
3. Only use sharp saw blades. Sharp blades
will do the job better and safer. Replace
blade immediately if dull or damaged.
4. Keep hands away from cutting area. When
sawing never reach underneath or behind the
material being cut for any reason.
5. When you have finished a cut be careful
not to come into contact with the blade.
Turn off the motor immediately.
6. Exercise extreme caution when blind
cutting. Be certain that there are no foreign
objects such as electrical wire, conduit,
plumbing pipes, etc., that may come into
contact with the blade.
7. Wear eye and hearing protection. Always
use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection
equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply
with ANSI S3.19 standards.
