Read this manual and all the safety precautions before attempting to
operate WerkMaster machines. Failure to follow the safety precautions may
result in severe personal injury or death. This product is intended for
commercial use.
• Wear eye and ear protection at all times when operating WerkMaster
machines. Use only ANSI/OSHA-approved safety glasses to help prevent
eye injury.
• Wear appropriate clothing and footwear when operating WerkMaster
machines. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may become
entangled in moving parts.
• Exposure to wood dust may cause health problems. To reduce your risk,
work in a well-ventilated area, use a dust control system such as an
industrial-style vacuum, and wear approved personal safety equipment,
such as a dust or particle respirator designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and concrete and other masonry products may
cause health problems. To reduce your risk, work in a well-ventilated area,
use a dust control system such as an industrial-style vacuum, and wear
approved personal safety equipment, such as a dust or particle respirator
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• NEVER operate WerkMaster machines under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when taking medications that impair the senses or reactions, or
when excessively tired or under stress.
• Only operate and maintain WerkMaster machines if you are trained in their
use and are in good physical condition and mental health. You must be
physically able to handle their bulk, weight and power.
• WerkMaster machines are to be operated by one person at a time. Maintain a
safe operating distance to other personnel. Keep bystanders a safe distance
away during operation by blocking off the work area in all directions with roping,
safety netting, or other material. Failure to do so may result in someone being
injured by flying debris or being exposed to harmful dust and noise.
• Maintain a safe operating distance from flammable materials. Sparks from
the cutting action may ignite flammable materials or vapors.
• Unplug the WerkMaster’s power cord when not in use and before servicing
or changing tooling plates.
• Turn the WerkMaster machine off before disconnecting power.
• DO NOT disconnect power by pulling the cord. To disconnect power, grasp
the plug, not the cord. To remove twist-lock plugs, turn counter-clockwise
and pull apart, and to engage the plugs, push in and turn clockwise.
• DO NOT turn on the WerkMaster while it is tilted back. Any tooling fastened
to the WerkMaster may eject and become a lethal projectile.
• While in use, ground this floor-finishing machine to protect the operator
from electric shock. The machine is provided with a three-conductor cord
and a three-contact grounding type attachment plug to fit the proper
grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in
