Eye and ear protection must be worn at all times while the TS-14 is in use. During normal operation,
sound pressure levels less than 85dBA. Use only ANSI approved safety glasses to help prevent eye
injury. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
Operator must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can
get tangled in moving parts. Footwear should provide sure footing and protection.
Materials being removed can be toxic or hazardous. A breathing respirator is required to help protect the operator
from inhaling the airborne material when operating this machine.
This is an electric tool. Do not use in a damp or wet location. Death or serious injury will result from
electric shock.
While the TS-14 uses standard household current, use only grounded extension cords appropriately sized
for the current draw requirements of this unit (16.9 amps/110 volts). Check the data plate on the machine
to be sure. Be sure to account for voltage drop based on the length of the cord. (Use 12/3 AWG up to 50
ft and 10/3 AWG up to 100ft. If working over 100ft. from the power source consult with an electrician.)
Insuffi cient power will cause the motor to overheat and burn out. Never use frayed, damaged, taped, or
underrated extension cords. Death or serious injury can result from electrical shock. Do not let the cord
contact hot or sharp surfaces that can cause damage. The TS-14 is equipped with a power on indicator
lamp located on the top of the switchbox. If the lamp fails to light have a certifi ed electrician check the
power source and make sure the appropriate size extension cord is being used.
If the motor stops for any reason unplug power cord at the machine before investigating the problem. The power
may unexpectedly be restored while you are away from the machine. For the same reason, unplug the power
cord at the machine before performing any maintenance. Never leave the machine running unattended.
Serious injury and/or damage to the equipment could result.
