10. Connect the dust extract if you will be processing wood, materials similar to

wood or plastics.

• If connections for dust extraction and a collecting device are present,

make sure that they are connected and used properly.

• When processing wood materials and plastics, operation in enclosed

spaces is only permitted with the use of a suitable extraction system.

11. DO NOT use the power cable for purposes for which it is not intended.

• DO NOT use the power cable to pull the plug out of the socket. Protect

the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.

12. Secure the workpiece.

• Use clamping devices to hold the workpiece in place as it is held more

securely than with your hand.

• An additional support is necessary for long workpieces (table, trestle,

etc.) in order to prevent the machine from tipping over (if not bolted

down).

• Always press the workpiece firmly against the working plate and fence

in order to prevent bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.

13. Avoid abnormal posture.

• Make sure that you have secure footing and always maintain your

balance.

• Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sudden slip could cause one

or both hands to come into contact with the cutter bit.

14. Take care of your tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean in order to be able to work better

and more safely.

• Check the power cable of the power tool regularly and have it

replaced by a recognised specialist if damaged.

• Check extension cables regularly and replace them if damaged.

• NEVER remove loose splinters, chips or jammed wood pieces from the

cutter bit until it has stopped.

• If the cutter bit is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting,

turn the machine off and remove the work piece. Ensure that the cutter

bit runs freely. Turn the machine back on and start a new cutting

operation with less feed force.

15. Before switching on, make sure that any adjusting tools are removed.

16. Avoid inadvertent starting.
