en ENGLISH resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. b) Use special care when working corners, 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 bit 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 tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work 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 indexable insert 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, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning 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 climb out. 4.2 Additional Safety Instructions: Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. WARNING - Always wear protective goggles. Wear ear protectors. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. 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. Warning from rotating tools 12 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, workpiece and chips can be hot after work. Wear protective gloves. Wear ear protectors when working for long periods of time. High noise levels over a prolonged period of time may affect your hearing. Use only sharp, undamaged indexable inserts. 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 intended 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 tool! Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill. Press the spindle locking button (xy) only when the motor is off. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used. Do not work overhead. Reduce 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 bystanders are being exposed. Do not let particles enter the body. Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able to filter microscopically small particles. Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Reduce dust exposure with the following measures: - Do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits.
