GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION

Ɣ The tool is not designed for stationary mode operation. Do not x it to a vice or a workbench.

Ɣ Work only with chip shield installed. Make sure the shield is not damaged or deformed. Working

without or with damaged chip shield may cause injuries.

Ɣ Immediately replace damaged chip shield with a new one in authorised service workshop.

Wear protective gloves and observe power cord when working. Make sure the cut o sheet pieces do

not point at you or power cord during operation.

Ɣ Sheet cuts leave sharp edges that can easily cause injuries or damage power cord.

Ɣ Move bending sheet away from yourself or power cord when necessary. Hold it with hands with

protective gloves on.
