AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when
operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make
workpiece control dicult or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance
from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving
parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and
working correctly before operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at
the rate for which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if
the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk
of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base
(if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the
manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will
increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine
OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave
machine running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication
schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly
maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or misaligned
parts - or any condition that could aect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace
before operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with
damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect- ing cord-connected machines
from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage
the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high trac areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/
damp locations.
