General Safety Information
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. Only use the machine if
the guards required for machining and other non-parting guards are fitted, in good operating
condition and properly maintained.
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.
Ensure a clean working environment and keep the area around the machine free of obstacles (e.g.
dust, chips, cut workpiece parts etc.).
Only use perfect tools that are free of cracks and other defects (e.g. deformations).
Sharpen/replace blunt/defective tool immediately.
Remove tool keys and other adjustment tools from the machine before switching it on.
Check the machine connections for strength before each use.
Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the working
area and secure it against unintentional restarting.
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 during this work.
Ensure that unauthorised persons maintain a safe distance from the machine and keep children
away from the machine.
When working on the machine, never wear loose jewellery, loose clothing, ties or long, open hair.
Hide long hair under hair protection.
Wear close-fitting protective clothing or suitable protective equipment (eye protection, dust mask,
hearing protection).
Metal dust can contain chemical substances that can have a negative effect on health. Only work on
the machine in well-ventilated rooms and with a suitable dust mask! If there are connections for
dust extraction, make sure that they are properly connected and in working order.
Do not remove any sections or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the machine
is running!
Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
Do not overload the machine!
Always shut down the machine and disconnect it from the power supply before carrying out any
conversion, adjustment, measuring, cleaning, maintenance or repair work.
Before starting any work on the machine, always wait until all tools or machine parts have come to
a complete standstill and secure the machine against unintentional restarting.
Do not work on the machine if it is 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!).

Electrical Safety
Make sure that the machine is earthed.
Only use suitable extension cords.
Proper plugs and sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
The machine may only be used in humid environments if the power source is protected by
a residual current circuit breaker.
