Additional Safety for Horizontal Slot Mortisers
EYE/FACE/LUNG/HAND PROTECTION. Debris
from cutting operations can be thrown at operator.
Always wear safety glasses or a face shield to pro-
tect your eyes and face during cutting operations.
Always wear a respirator to protect your lungs
from dust created during cutting operations. The
spinning bit is sharp and can cause serious injury.
Always keep hands and fingers away from moving
bit and chuck. To reduce risk of entanglement, DO
NOT wear gloves when operating this machine.
GUARD. Chuck guard reduces risk of entangle-
ment and debris being thrown at operator. DO
NOT operate this machine with guard removed.
CUTTING OPERATION. Cutting bits rotate with
high torque, especially at startup. To avoid a bit
grabbing workpiece and unexpectedly moving it,
DO NOT start the machine with a bit touching the
workpiece. DO NOT perform "climb milling"—only
move workpiece against rotation of cutting bit.
CUTTING BITS. A rapidly spinning cutting bit can
be thrown at operator and bystanders if it comes
loose from chuck. Only use bits with a shank diam-
eter of
5
⁄
8
" for safest operation. Properly secure bit
in chuck before beginning operations. DO NOT
use chisel bits of any kind.
DULL OR WORN BITS. Dull or damaged bits
may break apart during operation, be thrown at
operator or bystanders, or reduce performance.
Thoroughly inspect bit before each use. DO NOT
operate machine with a dull or damaged bit.
SECURING WORKPIECE. To keep workpiece
from moving during cutting operations, make sure
it is placed in a stable position on work table and
is secured by hold-down clamp or additional sup-
port fixtures.
SURFACE/WORKPIECE PREPARATION. Never
turn machine
ON before clearing work table of all
tools, scrap wood, etc. Only drill wood products
that are free of imperfections or foreign objects.
USE CORRECT MATERIALS. DO NOT use
machine for anything except cutting/mortising in
wood. DO NOT use this machine to drill metal,
plastics, glass, or other non-wood material, which
can damage machine and result in personal injury.
DO NOT use chisel bits with this machine.
ADJUSTMENTS. DO NOT adjust machine or
workpiece while machine is running. Wait for
chuck to come to a complete stop and unplug
machine before continuing.
Serious injury or death can occur from getting entangled in, crushed between, or struck by
rotating bits on a horizontal slot mortising machine! Unsecured tools or workpieces that fly
loose from rotating objects can strike operators and bystanders with deadly force. To minimize
the risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the
hazards and warnings below.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
