Original instructions

1. Declaration of Conformity

We, being solely responsible: Hereby declare that
these bevelers, identified by type and serial number
*1), meet all relevant requirements of directives *2)
and standards *3). Technical documents for *4) -
see page 3.

2. Specified Use

The beveler is intended for the bevelling of edges of
steel, stainless steel, aluminium and aluminium
alloys in the professional sector.
For processing aluminium, aluminium alloys and
stainless steel, a suitable lubricant (item no.:
6.23443) must be used.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.

3. General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating
instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your power tool only together
with these documents.

4. Special Safety Instructions

a) Do not use accessories that are not
specifically designed and recommended for
this power tool by the manufacturer. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
b) Do not use damaged power tools. Before
use, check the indexable inserts for chipping,
cracks, or signs of severe wear and tear. If a
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory.
c) User personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
d) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments
of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
e) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands
during the start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
f) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever
practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one
hand and the tool in the other hand while in
use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use
your hands to control the tool.
g) Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
h) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
i) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
j) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks and hot chips can ignite these
materials.
k) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
4.1 Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is the sudden response to an accessory
pinching or jamming while rotating. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of
the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an indexable insert is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the insert that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the insert to climb
out or kick out. The indexable insert may either jump
toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the indexable insert holder at the point
of pinching. Indexable inserts may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions It can
be prevented if suitable precautionary measures
are taken as described below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to
