Do not position your body directly in front or behind the
indexable insert when operating the machine, position
yourself parallel to the cutting surface. When moving
the indexable inserts into the workpiece any potential
kickback could result in contact with the indexable
inserts.
Turn or replace blunt indexable inserts or those with
worn off coating in good time.
Blunt indexable inserts
increase the risk of the machine jamming and breaking
out.
Do not use the power tool without the guide plate.
Further safety warnings
Use ear protection during operation.
Indexable inserts, indexable-insert holder, workpiece
and chippings can be hot after working. Wear protec-
tive gloves.
Use only sharp, undamaged indexable inserts.
Keep your hands away from the milling area and the
application tools.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other per-
sons or animals.
Danger of injury from sharp or hot
application tools.
Use a stationary extraction system, blow out ventilation
slots frequently and connect a residual current device
(RCD) on the line side. When working metal under
extreme operating conditions, it is possible for conduc-
tive dust to settle in the interior of the power tool. The
total insulation of the power tool can be impaired.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
power tool. If the insulation is damaged, protection
against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive
labels are recommended.
Do not work materials containing magnesium. Danger
of fire.
Do not work CFP (carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer) and
materials containing asbestos. These materials are con-
sidered carcinogenic.
Replace a damaged or cracked auxiliary handle. Do not
operate the power tool with a defective auxiliary han-
dle.
Hand/arm vibrations
The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a stand-
ardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the
main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is
used for different applications, with different accesso-
ries or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may
differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level
over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration
should also take into account the times when the tool
is switched off or when it is running but not actually
doing the job. This may significantly reduce the expo-
sure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the
tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organi-
sation of work patterns.
Emission values for vibration
Determined with a 45° bevel.

Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where
material is removed, dusts develop that can be hazard-
ous to one’s health.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-
ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate parti-
cles from materials containing stone, paint solvents,
wood preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders
and/or lead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. The risk from
inhaling dusts depends on the exposition. Use dust
extraction matched appropriately for the developing
dust, as well as personal protective equipment and pro-
vide for good ventilation of the workplace. Leave the
processing of asbestos-containing materials to special-
ists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding
dust and chemical materials can self-ignite under unfa-
vourable conditions or cause an explosion. Avoid
sparking in the direction of the dust collector as well as
overheating of the power tool and the materials being
sanded, empty the dust collector/container in time,
observe the material manufacturer’s working instruc-
tions, as well as the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials being worked.
