its cut-off wheels according to the Instruction Manual and the
instructions for the use of cut-off wheels.
2. The machine must be installed in compliance with local safety
regulations.
3. The machine must be placed on a safe and stable support table. All

6. Observe the current safety regulations for handling, mixing, filling,
emptying and disposal of the additive for cooling fluid.
7. The workpiece must be securely fixed in the quick-clamping device or
similar. Large or sharp workpieces must be handled in a safe way.
8. Do not work on or around cutting table when the table is repositioned
using the Y-table positioning joystick.

11. Struers recommends the use of an exhaust system as the materials
being cut may emit harmful gasses or dust.
12. The machine emits only moderate noise. However, the cutting process
itself may emit noise, depending on the nature of the workpiece. In
such cases, the use of hearing protection is recommended.
13. The machine must be disconnected from the mains prior to any service.
14. Use of working gloves is recommended as workpieces may be both
very hot and produce sharp edges. Wearing of gloves is also
recommended when flushing and cleaning the machine.
15. Struers recommends the use of safety shoes when working with heavy
samples.
16. Use of safety goggles is recommended when using the flushing hose.
17. If any of the cutting-chamber hood springs are damaged (at the rear of
machine), they must be replaced before the machine is used again.
18. When a recirculation cooling unit is used, observe the current safety
regulations for handling, mixing, filling, emptying and disposal of the
additive for cooling fluid.
Do not use flammable cooling fluid.
19. When lifting the machine using a forklift, lift from front or rear - never lift
the machine from the side.
20. When lifting the machine using lifting straps, ensure that the straps are
crossed and do not press on the sides of the machine.
1. Prior to any service, disconnect the machine then wait until residual
potential on the capacitors is discharged.
2. Do not cycle mains power more than once every three minutes.
Damage to the frequency converter will result.
