the engine and how to avoid accidental injuries and/or
property damage.
If the unit is to be used by someone other than original
purchaser or loaned, rented, or sold, always provide
this manual and any needed safety training before
operation. The user can prevent and is responsible for
accidents or injuries that may occur to themselves,
other people, and property.

your application. The correct machine will do the job
more efficiently and safer at the rate it was designed.

all times. This enables better control of the machine in
unexpected situations.
Inspect your Machine
Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in
place and in working order. Make sure all nuts, bolts,
etc., are securely tightened.
Never operate the machine when it is in need of
repair or is in poor mechanical condition. Replace
damaged, missing, or failed parts before using it.
Keep the machine in safe working condition. Regularly
check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the machine area before starting it. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the machine may result in personal injury. Avoid

before transporting the machine or performing any
maintenance or service on the unit.
Transporting or performing maintenance or service on
a machine with its switch on invites accidents. If the
machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
motor and check immediately for the cause. Vibration

unplugging the unit.
Avoid inadvertent starting. Make sure that the switch
is switched off when plugging the plug into an outlet.

extension cables for use outdoors. Only use cable reels
in the unrolled state.
