SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
Accident prevention warnings:
-
It is absolutely forbidden to remove any off-cuts or other parts of the workpiece from
the cutting area when the machine is running and the cutting head is in the operating
position.

Always keep hands away from the operating area when the blade is in motion; before
performing any operation release the run button and wait for the blade to come to a complete
standstill.

Before starting the machine always check that all the safety guards are correctly installed
and suitably protect the blade.
