1.2 Specific safety information
WARNING: Electrical voltage! Risk of fatal injury due to electrical shock.
•Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the
plug in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user.
•When operating the beveling machine outside, use an outdoor extension cord market “W-A”
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
•Extension cables must have a sufficient cross-section, as to prevent an excessive drop in
voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead to
failure of the motor.
•Never use multiple extensions cables together. Use a single longer one instead.
•Check the plug, cable and machine for damage each time using the machine.
•Remove the plug from the plug socket before undertaking maintenance work on the beveling
machine.
•Hold beveling machine by insulated gripping surfaces, because the milling head may contact
its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the beveling machine
“live” and shock the user.
WARNING: Risk of injury from high-temperature chips
WARNING: Risk of injury to hands
•Keep your fingers away from the beveling area.
•Keep all vulnerable body parts clear while the beveling machine is running, as high-
temperature chips are expelled at high speed during operation.
•During operation, always guide the machine in a direction away from the body.
•Do not use the beveling machine above your head.
•Do not reach into the processing line with your hands.
•Use both hands to hold and operate the beveling machine.
•Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
WARNING: Dust created by beveling may harm your health
•Some types of dust, such as dust from lead-based paint, is known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Risk varies on exposure and should always be reduced
by working in a well-ventilated area and by making use of approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
