Safety instructions
Danger
Always observe the following safety
instructions and the safety
regulations applicable in the
respective country of use!
General instructions:
- Children and adolescents must not operate this
machine. This rule does not apply to young
persons receiving training and being supervised by
an expert.
- Never work without the protection devices
prescribed for the respective operating sequence
and do not make any changes to the machine that
could impair safety.
- When operating the machine outdoors, use of an
earth-leakage circuit-breaker is recommended.
- Damaged cables or plugs must be immediately
replaced. Replacement may only be carried out by

in order to avoid safety hazards.
- Avoid sharp bends in the cable. Especially when
transporting and storing the machine, do not wind
the cable around the machine.

You will achieve improved surfaces and reduce the
danger of backlash.
- Before starting up, check the tight seat of the
milling cutter and its correct running.
- Only use milling cutters approved for manual feed.
- Only begin milling the workpiece when the milling
cutter has achieved its full speed.
- Always lead the connecting cable away from the
machine to the rear while milling.
- Always mill in counter direction while working on
edges with larger tools.
- Only put down the machine after switching off once
the milling cutter has come to a standstill or
unscrew the clamping for the automatic reverse
stroke on the machine and lock the latter again.
Instructions on the use of personal protective
equipment:
- The noise pressure level at the ear generally
exceeds 85 dB(A). Operators should therefore
wear ear protectors.
- Always wear protective goggles during milling.
- You should wear a dust mask to prevent any
damage to health.
