Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a
vice to firmly hold the work piece. This results
in a safer grip than with your hand.

putting it down. The tool being used could
catch, resulting in losing control over the pow-
er tool.
Lock the on/off switch to the off posi-
tion before working on the power tool
(e.g. maintenance, tool change, etc.),
and when transporting or storing. Risk
of injury if the on/off switch is accidentally acti-
vated.

also from continuous sunlight, fire,
water and moisture. Risk of explosion.

damaged, it must be replaced by the manufac-
turer or its service department, or a similarly
qualified person to prevent hazards.
