While installing the cutter, do not allow the operation panel to be touched inadvertently. When using the
operation panel, keep hands away from moving areas of the machine. Unintended operation of the ma-
chine may lead to danger of becoming caught.
Do not touch the tip of the cutter. Doing so may result in injury.
Securely fasten the cutter and workpiece in place. Otherwise they may come loose during cutting, resulting
in injury.
