Safety in the work area
When working with the machine especially pay attention to the following points:
Electric lines or pipes in work area.
Gas lines or water lines in the work area.
No one may stay in the room to which a passage is broken through, since
there is a danger of injury from falling stones and tools.

Check the following points before beginning work:
Condition of tools.
Machine settings.
Connection value of the machine.
Starting the machine
Observe the safety information and warning notices located on the machine.
Never attempt to switch on a machine that requires maintenance or repairs.
Switch on the machine as directed in the operator's manual.
Vertical stability

plies particularly when working on scaffoldings, ladders, etc.

rectly afterwards. These parts can become very hot and can cause severe burns.
Caution with movable parts
