7.1 Safety instructions
Warning! Risk of injury! Improper operation may lead to severe physical injury or material damage. For
this reason, this work may only be carried out by authorised, trained personnel who are familiar with how
to operate the machine and in strict observance of all safety instructions.
Before starting work:
• Before assembling and installing the machine, check
to make sure it is complete and in good condition.
• Ensure that there is sufficient space to work around
the machine.
• Keep the work area orderly and clean. Components
and tools that are not put in their correct place or put
away may be the cause of accidents!
• Ensure that all safety devices have been installed
properly.
• Adjustments to the machine or tool replacement may
only be conducted once the machine has stopped.
• Only clamp authorised tools to the machine.
• Install the dust extraction system according to the
instructions and test its function.
• Only machine workpieces that can be safely placed
on the machine and guided.
• Carefully inspect workpieces for foreign matter (nails,
screws) which might impair processing.
• Support long workpieces with additional surface
equipment (e.g. Table extensions, roll supports).
• Ensure that each unit is rotating in the proper direc-
tion.
• Keep tools for handling short and narrow workpieces
close at hand.
• Before switching on the machine, always check to make
sure that there are no other persons in the immediate
vicinity of the machine.
During operation:
• When changing to another workpiece or if a
malfunction occurs, first switch off the machine and
then secure it against being switched on again
accidentally.
• Do not switch off, circumvent or decommission
protective and safety devices during operation.
• Do not overload the machine! It is safer and performs
better if operated within its power range.
When working on or with the machine, the following
must be strictly observed:
• Persons with long hair who are not wearing a hairnet
are not permitted to work on or with the machine!
• It is prohibited to wear gloves while working on or
with the machine.
When working on or with the machine, the following
must always be worn by personnel:
• Sturdy, tight-fitting clothing (tear-resistant, no wide
sleeves, no jewellery (rings, bracelets, necklaces,
etc.)).
• Protective footwear To protect the feet from heavy
falling objects and prevent sliding on slippery floors
• Hearing protection To protect against loss of hearing.
7 Operation
Operation
Attention! Risk of material damage!
Only operate the machine in ambient temperatures from +10°C to +40°C. If the instructions are not follo-
wed, damage may occur to bearings.
Improper use such as cutting too tight a radius or with too much cutting pressure could cause friction and
lead to sparks being generated by the blade guides.
In order to prevent sparks being generated, it is recommended that Super Glide (article number 10.0.010)
is used on a regular basis (sprayed on to the guides).
