General Safety Instructions
To avoid malfunctions, damage and health hazards when working with the machine, in addition to
the general rules for safe working, the following points must be observed:
Before commissioning, check the machine for completeness and function.
Choose a level, vibration-free, non-slip surface for the installation location.
Ensure sufficient space around the machine!
Ensure sufficient lighting conditions at the workplace to avoid stroboscopic effects!
Only use perfect tools that are free of cracks and other defects (e.g. deformations).
Remove setting tools from the machine before switching on.
Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles (e.g. dust, chips, cut workpiece parts
etc.).
Check the strength of the machine connections before each use.
Never leave the running machine unattended. If necessary, stop the machine before leav-
ing.
The machine may only be operated, serviced or repaired by persons who are familiar with
it and who have been informed of the dangers arising in the course of this work.
Ensure that unauthorised persons maintain an appropriate safety distance from the ma-
chine and, in particular, keep children away from the machine..
Wear suitable protective equipment (eye protection, dust mask, respiratory protection, ear
protection, gloves when handling tools) as well as close-fitting work protective clothing -
never wear loose clothing, ties, jewellery, etc. - danger of being drawn in!
Work with gloves on rotating parts is not permitted!
Hide long hair under hair protection.
Do not remove any sections or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while
the machine is running!
Do not remove splinters and chips by hand! Use a sliding stick for this purpose!
Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
Do not overload the machine!
Do not work on the machine if you are tired, not concentrated or under the influence of
medication, alcohol or drugs!
Do not use the machine in areas where vapours from paints, solvents or flammable liquids
represent a potential danger (danger of fire or explosion!).
Do not smoke in the immediate vicinity of the machine (fire hazard)!
Always shut down the machine before carrying out any conversion, adjustment, measur-
ing, cleaning, maintenance or repair work and always disconnect it from the power supply
for maintenance or repair work. Before starting any work on the machine, wait until all
tools or machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure the machine against
unintentional restarting.
