- feel unusual vibrations,
- or after contact with a foreign body (in this case, check the device for damage and, if necessary, have
it repaired by a specialist)
• Keep power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar with the appliance
and/orhavenotreadandunderstoodtheseoriginaloperatinginstructionstouseit.Powertoolsarevery
