Original Instructions ENGLISH en 1. Declaration of Conformity We hereby declare that these bevellers, identified by type and serial number *1), meet all relevant requirements of directives *2) and standards *3). Technical documents for *4) - see page 4. 2. Specified Use The beveller is intended for the milling of edges of steel, stainless steel, aluminium and aluminium alloys in the professional sector. For processing aluminium, aluminium alloys and stainless steel, a suitable lubricant (item no.: 6.23443) must be used. This lubricant is also recommended when processing steel as it extends the tool life and the machine glides more easily over the workpiece. The user bears sole responsibility for any damage caused by inappropriate use. Generally accepted accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety information must be observed. protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtering particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss. d) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of a workpiece or broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of operation. e) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor as it accelerates to full speed can cause the tool to twist. f) Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your hands to control the tool. g) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The rotating accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. 3. General Safety Instructions For your own protection and for the protection of your power tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol! WARNING - Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury. WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference. Pass on your power tool only together with these documents. 4. Special Safety Instructions a) Do not use accessories that are not specifically designed and recommended for this power tool by the manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. b) Do not use damaged power tools. Before use, check the indexable inserts for chipping, cracks or signs of severe wear and tear. If a power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. h) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the rotating accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body. i) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards. j) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks and hot chips can ignite these materials. k) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock. 4.1 Kickback and related warnings Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory pinching or jamming while rotating. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory. This causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if an indexable insert is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the insert that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the insert to climb out or kick out. The indexable insert may either jump towards or away from the operator depending on direction of the indexable insert holder at the point of pinching. Indexable inserts may also break under these conditions. c) Wear personal protective equipment. Use a face shield, safety goggles or safety goggles depending on the application. As appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. It can be prevented if suitable precautionary measures are taken as described below. and a workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye 13
