For Your Safety

aDon't handle inserts and chips without gloves. aPlease machine within the recommended application range and exchange expired tools with new ones in advance of breakage. aPlease use safety
covers and wear safety glasses. aWhen using compounded cutting oils, please take fire precautions. aWhen attaching inserts or spare parts, please use only the correct wrench or spanner.
