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 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.
• 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 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 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 tooling plates.
• 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.
• Ground this floor-finishing machine while in use 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 the cord is the
grounding wire. NEVER connect this wire to other than the grounding pin of
the attachment plug.
