ENGLISH
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:
