Safety Precautions and
Working Techniques
Because the machine is a high-speed
fast-cutting power tool, special safety
precautions must be observed to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
It is important that you read and
understand the User Manual before
commissioning and keep it in a safe
place for future reference. Non-com-
pliance with the User Manual may
cause serious or even fatal injury.
Observe all applicable local safety regulations,
e.g. by trade organizations, social insurance
institutions, labor safety authorities etc.
If you have never used a power tool before:
Have your dealer or other experienced user
show you how to operate your machine - or
attend a special course to learn how to operate
it.
Minors should never be allowed to use the
machine - except for apprentices over the age of
16 when working under supervision.
Children, animals and bystanders must remain at
a distance.
