Position the cutting plate flush with the table edge. Bolt the machine on the bench. Place the machine in a way so that it is easily accessible for main- tenance work from all sides. Check the machine for damage. Check the electric cables for damage. Train the operating staff and record training sessions in “Decla- ration of trained staff”, Section 9.
4.3.1 Extraction Mount a metal hose for smoke and particle extraction to the ex- traction nozzle (1). We recommend an extraction fan with 100 mm water column and a capacity of 4 m³/min, as well as a filter element and a spark sep- arator suitable for this purpose.

• The work piece must protrude over the two bending pins by at least 50 mm. • The work piece must completely bear on the cutting plate. 5.3.2 Cutting individual hoses WARNING! Cutting risk! There is a risk of cutting your extremities when cutting work- pieces.
Activate the machine at the main power switch (5). Move handle (1) steadily, slowly towards the cutting plate. The feed fork (2) moves forward. The cutting process is completed. Move handle (1) upwards to the starting position. The feed fork (2) moves backward. Deactivate the machine at the main power switch (5).
Polycarbonate screens are classified as wear parts by the Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken [German Machine Tool Builders' Association], since they lose their retention capacity due to environmental effects. Polycarbonate screens have to be re- placed 5 years after the construction of the machine (see year of construction) at the latest.
