USE ONLY DRILL BITS, CUTTING TOOLS, OR OTHER
ACCESSORIES
with shank size recommended in your
instruction manual. The wrong size accessory can cause
damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
11.
USE ONLY DRILL BITS OR CUTTING TOOLS
that are not
damaged. Damaged items can cause malfunctions that
lead to injuries.
12.
USE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS
for all operations. Other
speeds may cause the machine to malfunction causing
damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
13.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS.
A sudden slip could cause a hand to move
into the bit.
14.
KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS
away from the bit.
Serious injury to the hand can occur.

American National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety
Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the U.S.
Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a 20 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have
3-prong grounding type plugs and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. Before connecting the
machine to the power line, make sure the switch (s) is in the “OFF” position and be sure that the electric current is of
the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low
voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine is wired for 120 Volt, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
