WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design:
•Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.
•Harmful emissions of wood dust when the machine is used in closed rooms. Always use supplementary dust extraction.
•Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the bit.
•Contact with the bit.
•Reaching into the housing whilst the tool is running and making contact with the bit.
•Kickback of workpiece and parts of workpiece.
•Bit fracture.
•Catapulting of faulty pieces from the bit.
•Do not use bits that are deformed or cracked.
•Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the bit and setting the depth of cut.
