professional.

tank when the machine is hot.

WARNING Unexpected movements
The inserted tool is exposed to heavy strains when
the machine is used. The inserted tool may break
due to fatigue after a certain amount of use. If the
inserted tool breaks or gets stuck, there may be
sudden and unexpected movement that can cause
injuries. Furthermore, losing your balance or slipping
may cause injury.
► Make sure that you always keep a stable position
with your feet as far apart as your shoulder width,
and keeping a balanced body weight.
► Always inspect the equipment prior to use. Never
use the equipment if you suspect that it is
damaged.

grease and oil.

► Never start the machine when it is lying on the
ground.

► Check regularly for wear on the insertion tool, and
check whether there are any signs of damage or
visible cracks.
► Pay attention and look at what you are doing.
WARNING Stalling hazard
If the insertion tool gets caught during operation, the
whole machine will start to rotate if you lose your grip
on it. This unexpected rotation of the entire machine
may cause serious injury or death.

with both hands.
► Make sure that the handle or handles are clean
and free from grease and oil.
