WARNING! There is always a risk of crush
injuries when working with products
containing moving parts. Wear protective
gloves to avoid body injuries.

Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad
weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions,
e.g. slippery surfaces.

Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk
alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect
your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.

Never start to work with the power cutter before the
working area is clear and you have a firm foothold. Look
out for any obstacles with unexpected movement. Ensure
when cutting that no material can become loose and fall,
causing operating injury.

maintenance and service instructions described in this
manual. Some maintenance and service measures must
be carried out by trained and qualified specialists. See
instructions under the heading Maintenance.
Make sure that no pipes or electrical cables are routed in

close at hand. Apart from being able to receive help to
assemble the machine, you can also get help if an
accident should occur.
