SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!
!
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 machine 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.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and concrete and other masonry products may
cause health problems. Risk of exposure varies depending on how often you
do this type of work. 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 in good physical
condition and mental health. You must be physically able to handle their
bulk, weight and power.
• WerkMaster machines are designed 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 of WerkMaster machines may ignite flammable materials or
vapors.
• Unplug the WerkMaster’s power cord when not in use and before servicing or
changing discs.
• Turn the WerkMaster 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, push in and turn clockwise to
engage, and turn counter-clockwise and pull to remove.
• DO NOT turn on the WerkMaster while it is tilted back. Any tooling fastened to
the WerkMaster may eject and become a lethal projectile.
• Be sure all safety decals on the machine can be clearly read and understood.
Replace damaged or missing decals immediately.
• Maintain WerkMaster machines in safe operating condition with all guards in
place and secure, all mechanical fasteners tight, all controls in working order,
and the grinder configured for the job application, whether concrete, natural
stone, wood or other surfaces.
