safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety
instructions before attempting to operate this
product. Keep these instructions in a safe place!
General
1 Keep work area clean
Cluttered areas and benches can cause

Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces

swarf is being produced, etc.) electric safety

breaker.
