When using the end mills, V-bits or cutters, always have the workpiece securely clamped.
Never attempt to hold the workpiece with your hands while using any of these accessories.
The reason is that these tools will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can
kickback causing loss of control resulting in serious injury.
Safety Rules for system-guided Tools
The Tool Changer needs to be controlled by a control software of a CNC router. Therefore the
power supply of the spindle has to be properly connected to the external output of the main
board of the CNC router via a 15-pin Sub-D cable. Prior to each commissioning of the power tool
the ON/OFF, speed and emergency button functionality has to be checked. Malfunction may result
in serious personal injury.
Do not leave a running CNC system and power tool unattended, turn power off. Only when a
CNC router or power tool comes to a complete stop and are disconnected from the mains are they
Additional Safety Warnings
Depending on the application field of the machine (private or commercial), observe the applicable
occupational safety and health, safety and accident prevention and environmental regulations, too.
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the
electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to
disassemble any portion of the tool. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage the surface.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be served by a STEPCRAFT service facility.
Some dust created by power cutting, routing, milling, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from nonferrous metals with lead
content, carbonate from carbon fiber, arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from exposures to these varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
