WARNING Projectiles
Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even
of the machine itself may generate high velocity
projectiles. During operating, splinters or other
particles from the working material may become
projectiles and cause personal injury by striking the
operator or other persons. To reduce these risk:
►
Use approved personal protective equipment
and safety helmet, including impact resistant
eye protection with side protection.

Make sure that no unauthorised persons
trespass into the working zone.

▲
WARNING Splinters hazard
Using the insertion tool as a hand struck tool can
result in splinters hitting the operator and can
cause personal injury.
