OPERATION MANUAL
2.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONT.
AWKWARD POSITIONS.
Keep proper
footing and balance at all times when
operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid
awkward hand positions that make the work-
piece control difficult or 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.
GUARDS & COVERS
. Guards and covers
reduce accidental contact with moving parts
or flying debris. Make sure they are properly
installed, undamaged, and working correctly.
FORCING MACHINERY
. Do not force the
machine. It will do the job safer and better at
the rate for which it was designed.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS.
When dis-
conecting the cord-connected machines
from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT
the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the
wires inside. Do not handle the cord or plug
with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keep-
ing it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet or damp
locations.
STABLE MACHINE.
Unexpected movement
during operation greatly increases risk of
injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify
machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is
locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
.
Consult this owner’s manual or the manufac-
turer for recommended accessories. Using
improper accessories will increase the risk of
serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION.
To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF
and ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE
. Follow all mainte-
nance instructions and lubrication schedules
to keep machine in good working condition.
A machine that is improperly maintained
could malfunction, leading to serious per-
sonal injury or death.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating the machine.
