 Danger of pinching, entanglement, and burns.

 WARNING

Never attempt operation while wearing 

a necktie, necklace, loose clothing, or 

gloves. Bind long hair securely.

Such items may become caught in the ma-

chine, resulting in injury.

Securely fasten the cutting tool and work-

piece in place. After securing in place, 

make sure no wrenches or other articles 

have inadvertently been left behind.

Otherwise such articles may be thrown from 

the machine with force, posing a risk of in-

jury.

Exercise caution to avoid being pinched

or becoming caught.

Inadvertent contact with certain areas may 

cause the hand  or fingers to be pinched  or 

become caught. Use care when performing 

operations.

 WARNING

Caution: cutting tool.

The cutting tool is sharp. To avoid injury, ex-

ercise caution.

Caution: high temperatures.

The cutting tool and spindle motor become hot.

Exercise caution to avoid fire or burns.

 WARNING

Never attempt to cut magnesium or any 

other such flammable material. 

Fire may occur during cutting. 

Keep open flame away from the work 

area. 

Cutting waste may ignite. Powdered material is 

extremely flammable, and even metal material 

may catch fire. 

When using a vacuum cleaner to take up 

cutting waste, exercise caution to prevent 

fire or dust explosion. 

Taking up fine cuttings using an ordinary 

vacuum cleaner may cause danger of fire or 

explosion. Check with the manufacturer of the 

vacuum cleaner. When the safety of use can-

not be determined, clean using a brush or the 

like, without using the vacuum cleaner. 

 CAUTION

Wear dust goggles and a mask. Wash 

away any cutting waste remaining on the 

hands. 

Accidentally swallowing or inhaling cutting 

waste may be hazardous to the health. 

 

The cutting waste or workpiece may catch fire or pose a health hazard.

 To Ensure Safe Use
