Never operate with the table insert not in place.
Make sure to guide and hold the workpiece thigh during
machining.
Machine only stock which rests securely on the table.
Specifications regarding the maximum or minimum size
of the workpiece must be observed.
Do not remove chips and workpiece parts until the

Do not stand on the machine.
Connection and repair work on the electrical installation
may be carried out by a qualified electrician only.
Have a damaged or worn power cord replaced
