WARNING
Never use a solvent such as gasoline, alcohol, or thinner to perform cleaning.
Doing so may cause fire.

Disconnect the power cord before performing cleaning or maintenance.
Attempting such operations while the machine is connected to a power source may
result in injury or electrical shock.

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 cannot be determined, clean using a brush or the like, without using
the vacuum cleaner.

Never apply lubrication anywhere except at specified locations.
Never apply silicone substances (oil, grease, spray, etc.) to the machine. Doing so may cause poor
