GETTING STARTED
Structural Requirements
Make sure all supporting structures and load attaching devices are
strong enough to hold your intended loads. If in doubt, consult a
qualified structural engineer.
Electrical Requirements
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and frequency
specified. Normal loads will be handled safely on voltages not more
than 10% above or below the specified voltage.
Running the unit on voltages which are not within the range may
cause overheating and motor burn-out. Heavy loads require that
the voltage at motor terminals be no less than the voltage specified.
Tools Needed
Standard mechanic’s hand tool set.

Inspect
• After unpacking the unit, carefully inspect for any damage that
may have occurred during transit. Check for loose, missing or
damaged parts. Shipping damage claims must be filed with the
carrier.
• All tools should be visually inspected before use, in addition to
regular periodic maintenance inspections.
• Be sure that the voltage labeled on the unit matches your
power supply.
SAFETY RULES
For your own safety, read operating
instructions manual before operating tool.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Some dust created by
using power tools contain chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals;
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment. Always wear
OSHA/NIOSH
approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using such tools
Be Prepared for Job
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts of machine.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are
NOT
safety glasses.
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
Prepare Work Area for Job
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches
invite accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose
power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of the workplace. Make workshop childproof.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to
prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
