attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating
instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

4. Special safety instructions
4.1 Beveller safety warnings:
a) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
b) Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.

4.2 Additional safety instructions
Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Wear ear protectors.
Wear protective goggles.
Pull the mains plug out of the socket before making
any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
The tommy nut (3) must always be tightened well
when working with the machine.
Do not try to machine extremely small workpieces.
Smaller workpieces must be secured in such a way
that they do not get loose when working with the
machine (e.g. using screw clamps).
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. When
working, always make sure that no nails or other
similar materials are being cut into.
Keep your hands away from the rotating tool!
Remove debris and similar material only when the
machine is at a standstill.
Do not touch the cutter straight after use. It can be
very hot and cause burns to your skin.
Danger of injury from the sharp edges of the cutter.
If needed, set the stand all the way down for
protection.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
Do not operate the machine in a holder.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials, such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
