WARNING!
Dangerous voltage even if the main switch is switched off.
The areas marked by the pictogram might contain live parts, even if the main switch is switched
off.

CAUTION!
The drive or the lathe chuck will continue to run for a while, depending on the mass
moment of inertia of the lathe chuck and the workpiece.
The emergency stop button brings the machine to a standstill.
