READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERATORS INSTRUCTION MANUAL
THOROUGHLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
Death or serious injury could occur if this machine is used improperly.
Extreme care must be taken when operating electric
models with water present: Ensure power cord is prop-
erly grounded, is attached to a Ground-Fault-Interrupter
(GFI) outlet, and is undamaged.
•
Check all electrical cables - be sure connections are tight and
cable is continuous and in good condition. Be sure cable is
correctly rated for both the operating current and voltage of
this equipment.
•
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with qualified electri-
cian or service person if there is any doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Adhere to
all
local codes and
ordinances.
•
NOTE:
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to
dissipate. The motor is equipped with a grounded plug and
must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and
properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided on the
motor. If the plug does not fit the outlet have a qualified electri
-
cian install the proper receptacle.
•
Switch motor OFF
before
disconnecting power.
•
Engine exhaust from this product contains
chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and poisonous.
It should only be dispensed in well ventilated areas,
and with a cool engine.
•
Small gasoline engines produce high concentra-
tions of carbon monoxide (CO) example: a 5 HP 4 cycle
engine operation in an enclosed 100,000 cu. ft. area with
only one change of air per hour is capable of providing
deadly concentrations of CO in less than fifteen minutes.
Five changes of air in the same area will produce noxious
fumes in less than 30 minutes. Gasoline or propane pow-
ered equipment should not be used in enclosed or partially
enclosed areas. Symptoms of CO poisoning include, head-
ache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, visual problems and
loss of consciousness. If symptoms occur - get into fresh
air and seek medical attention immediately.

This equipment is intended for commercial use only.
•
For the operator’s safety and the safety of others, always keep
all guards in place during operation.
•
Never let equipment run unattended.
•
Personal Protection Equipment and proper safety attire must
be worn when operating this machinery. The operator must
wear approved safety equipment appropriate for the job such
as hard hat and safety shoes when conditions require. Hear-
ing protection MUST be used (operational noise levels of this
equipment may exceed 85db). Eye protection MUST be worn
at all times.
Keep body parts and loose clothing away from moving
parts. Failure to do so could result in dismemberment
or death.
•
Do not modify the machine.
•
Stop motor/engine when adjusting or servicing this equipment.
Maintain a safe operating distance from flammable
materials. Sparks from the cutting-action of this machine
can ignite flammable materials or vapors.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
DUST WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activi-
ties contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints, and
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and concrete and other
masonry products.
Your risk of exposure to these chemicals varies depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your risk:
work in a well ventilated area, use a dust control system, such
as an industrial-style vacuum, and wear approved personal
safety equipment, such as a dust/particle respirator designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
•
Do not disconnect power by pulling cord. To disconnect, grasp
the plug, not the cord.
•
Unplug power cord at the machine when not in use and before
servicing.
