en ENGLISH a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces if proper precautions are taken. b) Use special care when working in corners, on sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback. c) Always feed the accessory into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the power tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the accessory to move out of the workpiece and pull the tool in the direction of this feed. d) Prevent any jamming of the indexing insert or excessive pressure. Do not set the chamfer height greater than the permitted maximum. Overstressing the indexable insert increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the disc in the cut and the possibility of kickback or breakage of the indexable insert. e) Do not position your hand in line with and behind the indexable insert. When the indexable insert is moving away from your body at the point of operation, the possible kickback may propel the rotating indexable insert and the power tool directly at you. Turn/replace blunt indexable inserts or inserts where the coating is worn in due time. Blunt indexable inserts increase the risk of the machine getting jammed and breaking. 4.2 Additional safety instructions: Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces because the milling cutter may hit its own cord. Contact with a live lead may also make metal power tool parts "live" and lead to an electric shock. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. WARNING - Always wear protective goggles. Wear ear protectors. Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out maintenance or cleaning. Wear suitable work clothes. Ensure that nobody gets injured by catapulted foreign bodies. Keep persons nearby and pets at a safe distance to the device. Keep away hair, loose clothing, fingers and other body parts. They can get caught and sucked in. Use a hair net for long hair. 14 Warning of rotating tools Always wear protective goggles, gloves and sturdy shoes when working with this tool. Danger of injury from sharp edges. Wear protective gloves. Indexable inserts, holders for indexable inserts, the workpiece and chips can be hot after work. Wear protective gloves. A damaged or cracked additional handle must be replaced. Never operate the machine with a defective additional handle. Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out maintenance or cleaning. Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended. Always install an RCD with a maximum trip current of 30 mA upstream. When the machine is shut down by the RCD, it must be checked and cleaned. See chapter 10. Cleaning. Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may damage your hearing. Use only sharp, undamaged indexable blades. The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported. Ensure that sparks produced during work do not constitute a risk to the user or others and are not able to ignite flammable substances. Areas at risk must be protected with flame-resistant covers. Always keep a fire extinguisher on hand when working in areas prone to fire risk. Always hold the machine with both hands on the designated handles, take a secure stance and concentrate on the work. Keep your hands away from the milling area and from the tool. Do not touch the rotating accessory! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill. Pull the mains plug out of the socket. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used. Do not work overhead. Never use an incomplete tool or one on which an unauthorised modification has been made. Reducing dust exposure: Some dust created by using this power tool may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these substances include: lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. The risk from exposure to such substances will depend on how long you or people nearby are exposed to them. Do not let particles enter the body.
