SAFETY PROCEDURES 

 

BE ALERT! BE CAREFUL!

 

BEFORE USE: 

 

Read through the owner’s manual. Follow instructions CAREFULLY.

 

 

Don’t

 install the machine on uneven ground. 

 

NEVER use in a wet area. Electric shock could occur. 

 

Use at least a 15 amp power source at 110 v 

 

Use a GROUNDED outlet and a GROUNDED circuit. Do no use ungrounded 
equipment on the same circuit. 

 

Always use a dedicated line. DO NOT use with line splitting surge protector.  

 

Make sure all safety covers are in place. The top cover has an interlock switch which 
will disable the unit if removed. 

 

Open and close the plastic cover slowly. 

DURING USE: 

 

Exercise caution with long hair, loose fitting clothes when near the machine nip, 
while in operation. 

 

Keep fingers and hands away from belts, folding blades, and rubber rollers. 

 

Keep fingers away from any moving part. 

 

Keep cords clear of moving parts. 

 

Do not place any liquid on any surface of machine. 

 

Do not put heavy matter on machine. 

AFTER USE: 

 

Turn off machine at the top panel, then unplug the main power cord. This will 
prevent damage to your machine by power/voltage spikes. 

 

To unplug cords, always grasp the plug body, never pull on cords to disconnect. 
Wire fatigue and possible shock could result from improper disconnect procedures. 

 

Disconnect the power before cleaning the inner machine. 

 

Clean all rollers, belts and moving parts. 

 

Cover the Machine.
