a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to

resist kickback forces. The operator can control

kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

b) Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging

the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing

have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and

cause loss of control or kickback.

d) Always feed the bit into the material in the

same direction as the cutting edge is exiting

from the material (which is the same direction

as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the

wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to

climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction

of this feed.

c) Prevent any jamming of the indexing insert

or excessive pressure. Do not set the chamfer

height greater than the permitted maximum.

Overstressing the indexable insert increases the

loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of

the disc in the cut and the possibility of kickback or

breakage of the indexable insert.

d) Do not position your hand in line with and

behind the indexable insert. When the indexable

insert, at the point of operation, is moving away from

your body, the possible kickback may propel the

spinning indexable insert and the power tool directly

at you.

Turn/replace blunt indexable inserts or inserts

where the coating is worn in due time. Blunt

indexable inserts increase the risk of the machine

getting jammed and climb out.

4.2 Additional Safety Instructions:

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, because the cutter may contact its

own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the

operator.

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

WARNING – Always wear protective

goggles.

Wear ear protectors.

Wear a suitable dust protection mask.

Wear suitable work clothes.

Ensure that nobody gets injured by

catapulted foreign bodies.

Keep persons nearby and pets at a safe

distance to the device.

Keep away hair, loose clothing, fingers and

other body parts. They can get caught and

sucked in. Use a hair net for long hair.

Warning from rotating tools

Always wear protective goggles, gloves, and sturdy

shoes when working with this tool.

Danger of injury from sharp edges. Wear protective

gloves.

Indexable inserts, holders for indexable inserts,

workpiece and chips can be hot after work. Wear

protective gloves.

Wear ear protectors when working for long

periods of time. High noise levels over a

prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.

Use only sharp, undamaged saw blades.

The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against

slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must

be sufficiently supported.

Ensure that sparks produced during work do not

constitute a risk to the user or others and are not

able to ignite flammable substances. Areas at risk

must be protected with flame-resistant covers.

Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand when

working in areas prone to fire risk.

Always hold the machine with both hands on the

intended handles, take a secure stance and

concentrate on the work.

Keep your hands away from the milling area and

from the tool.

Do not touch the rotating tool! Remove chips and

similar material only with the machine at a standstill.

Press the spindle locking button (xy) only when the

motor is off.

Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be

used.

Do not work overhead.

Reduce dust exposure:

Some dust created by using this power tool

may contain chemicals known to cause

cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these

substances include: Lead (in paint containing lead),

mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives

used for wood treatment (chromate, wood

preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or

beech dust), metals, asbestos.

The risk from exposure to such substances will

depend on how long you or bystanders are being

exposed.

Do not let particles enter the body.

Do the following to reduce exposure to these

substances: Ensure good ventilation of the

workplace and wear appropriate protective

equipment, such as respirators able to filter

microscopically small particles.

Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,

staff, application and place of application (e.g.

occupational health and safety regulations,

disposal).

Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid

deposits in the surrounding area.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
