OPERATION MANUAL
WEARING PROPER APPAREL
Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover
long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental
slips, which could cause loss of operating control.
HEARING PROTECTION
. Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without
hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.
Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon
startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any
other tools on machine. Always verify removal before
starting!
FORCING MACHINERY.
Do not force the machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which
it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE
. Serious injury may
occur if the machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted
STABLE MACHINE
. Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of
control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and if
using a mobile base make sure it is locked in position
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult
this manual or the manufacturer for recommended
accessories. Using improper accessories will increase
the risk of serious injury.
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB.
Only use
this tool for its intended purpose. Do not force the
machine or its attachments to do a job for which they
were not designed. Never make unapproved modifi-
cations. Modifying the machine or using it differently
than intended may result in malfunction or mechani-
cal failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
UNATTENDED OPERATION
. To reduce the risk of
accidental injury, turn the machine OFF and ensure
all moving parts have completely stopped before
walking away. Never leave the machine running while
unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE
. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep the
machine in good working condition. A machine that
is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading
to serious personal injury or death.
A
WKWARD POSITIONS.
Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make operating control difficult. This could
increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.
Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction
2.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Cont.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
Regularly inspect the
machine for any condition that may affect the safe
operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged
parts or parts that are incorectly fitted before
operating.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS.
When disconnecting
the cord-connecting the machines from the power,
hold and pull the plug—not the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug
with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemi-
cals, and wet/damp locations.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris.
Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged,
and working correctly.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS
.
There is a risk of being shocked, burned, or killed by
touching live electrical components or improperly
grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow
qualified service personnel to do electrical installation
or repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
CLEARING CHIPS.
Metal chips can easily cut bare
skin—even through a piece of cloth. Avoid clearing
chips by hand or with a rag. Use a brush or vacuum to
clear metal chips.
