GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: OWNER’S MANUAL.
Read and understand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt
or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine
is not being used, dis- connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to
prevent unauthorized use - especially around children. Make your workshop kid
proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are
wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly
increases the risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe
operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol,
when tired, or when distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or
killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery.
To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical
installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or
exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect machine from power supply
before making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents
an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield
when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness
from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that
can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear
non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer,
birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards
associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or
observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing
protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous
projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on
machine. Always verify removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose
- do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never
make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it dierently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal
injury or death!
