General safety instructions
To avoid malfunctions, damage and health hazards when working with the machine, the following
points must be observed in addition to the general rules for safe working:
Before start-up, check the machine for completeness and function. Only use the machine if
•
the guards and other non-parting guards required for machining have been fitted, are in good
operating condition and have been 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.
•
Only use perfect tools that are free of cracks and other defects (e.g. deformations).
•
•
Remove tool keys and other adjustment tools before switching on the machine.
•
Keep the area around the machine free of obstacles (e.g. dust, chips, cut parts, etc.).
Check the strength of the machine connections before each use.
•
Never leave the running machine unattended. Switch off the machine before leaving the work-
•
ing area and secure it against unintentional or unauthorised recommissioning.
•
The machine may only be operated, serviced or repaired by persons who are familiar with it
and who have been informed of the hazards arising from this work.
•
Ensure that unauthorised persons maintain a safe distance from the machine and keep chil-
dren 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 and suitable protective equipment (eye protection, dust
•
mask, ear protection; gloves only when handling tools).
Work on the machine should only be carried out in well-ventilated rooms. If necessary, use dust
•
protection.
If there are connections for dust extraction, make sure that they are properly connected and in
•
working order.
•
Always work with care and the necessary caution and never use excessive force.
•
Do not overload the machine!
Shut down the machine and disconnect it from the power supply before carrying out any ad-
•
justment, conversion, cleaning, maintenance or repair work. Before starting any work on the
machine, wait until all tools or machine parts have come to a complete standstill and secure
the machine against unintentional restarting.
Do not remove any sections or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area while the
•
machine is running!
•
Do not remove splinters and chips by hand! Use a sliding stick for this purpose!
Use a push stick for cutting operations!
•
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!).
Do not smoke in the immediate vicinity of the machine (fire hazard)!
•

Electrical Safety
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the "OFF" position before connecting the machine to
•
the power source.
•
Do not use the power tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the ON/OFF switch.
•
Proper plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
Ensure that the unit is earthed.
•
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is in ground contact. Avoid physical
•
contact with earthed objects, such as pipes, radiators, etc.
•
Water that penetrates power tools increases the risk of electric shock. Do not expose the power
tools to rain or moisture.
•
Only use suitable extension cords.
•
A damaged or tangled cable increases the risk of electric shock. Handle the cable carefully.
Never use the cable to carry, pull or disconnect the power tool. Keep the cable away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
