Safety Precautions
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.
1.
ALWAYS
Learn the machines applications, limitations and the
specific potential hazards peculiar to it. Read and become familiar
with the entire operating manual.
2.
ALWAYS
use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly dusty.
3.
ALWAYS
check for damage. Before using the machine, any
damaged part, should be checked to ensure that it will operate
properly, and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other
condition that may affect the machines operation. Any damage
should be properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt,
DO NOT
use the machine.
Consult your local dealer.

Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses,
they are not safety glasses.

distance from the work area, especially whilst operating the
machine.

due to familiarity.
