Here you go fam, its in Swedish but you can understand from the video. You check the blind spot before changing lanes just like on a normal straight road.

So steps are like:
at second exit, check for bind spot, indicate right, check bind spot again, change lane and check for pedestrain or cylists. is that correct?

Yes you switch to the outer lane right after the second exit. Doing it by the book would probably be like. Go into roundabout blinking left inner file, Check whats behind you and to the right. Check blind spot and start blinking right just after the second exit. Change lane if its safe and no one is there 
. That is how you should drive on the test to make them happy, cause its the safest way. But its not illegal to continue driving in the inner file and just blink right and exit at the 3rd exit, That is just less safe. But if you want to be in the left file after the roundabout for some reason (following some sign) then you should do the latter way cause its more convenient. Also blinking left isnt forced by law but its just nice manners

Turning Right
1. Place yourself in the right lane and keep to the right.
2. Blink well in advance as you approach the roundabout.
3. Check for traffic from the left and then enter the roundabout in outer lane. Also check right side traffic flow. There might red traffic lights on the exit and cars are waiting.
4. Do not forget to keep track of the bike path and the pedestrian crossing!
5. If blinker does not go off, stop it manually.
Going Straight
1. Place yourself in the right-hand lane.
2. Check for traffic from the left, right (focus more left) and then enter the roundabout in outer lane. Check if vehicles are stopped at red traffic lights on the exit and cars are waiting. Enter only if you dont block entry of right hand lane cars to enter the roundabout especially in inner lane.
3. Flash to the right when at place between entry and exit of right hand lane. Make eye contact with drivers at entry of right hand lane trying to enter the roundabout. By blinking, you tell the other road users that you intend to drive off the roundabout. This makes it easier for them to decide whether to drive or wait. Do not start the turn signals too early. You then risk tricking your fellow road users that you should drive out of the roundabout earlier than you intended to do. The risk is that they think they can drive and drive out in front of you.
4. Do not forget to keep track of the bike path and the pedestrian crossing!
5. If blinker does not go off, stop it manually.
Turning Left
1. Place yourself in the left-hand lane.
2. Make eye contact with drivers at right hand lane(1st exit). It shows intention of each other if you can drive or they can drive.
3. Approaching 2nd exit(going straight lane), check bind spot. Starting indicating for right turn when at place between exit and entry of 2nd lane (lane going straight on). Make eye contact with drivers about to enter from 2nd lane. Check bind spot and change lane safely.
4. Scan for the cyclists and pedestrains at crossing.
5. If blinker does not go off, stop it manually.
