of this machine. Read and understand all
warnings posted on the machine.

designed.
5. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubrication and changing

makeshift repairs done to the machine. This
not only voids the warranty but also may
render the machine unsafe.

of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. A guard or any part that is
damaged should be repaired or replaced.
8. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
9. Keep work area well lighted.

should be kept a safe distance from the work
area.
11. Make the workshop child proof. Use padlocks,
master switches, and remove starter keys.
12. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving parts.
Rubber soled footwear is recommended for
best footing. Contain long hair.
13. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating machinery. Eye wear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side
shields which comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications. Use of eye wear which does not
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could
result in severe injury from breakage of eye
protection.
14. Wear ear protectors (plugs or muffs) during
extended periods of operation.
15. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
16. Do not perform any set-up work while machine

17. This manual is intended to familiarize you with
the technical aspects of this machine. It is not,
nor was it intended to be, a training manual.
18. Disconnect tools before servicing and when
changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
19. Turn off the machine and disconnect from
power before cleaning. Use a brush to remove
shavings or debris — do not use bare hands.

direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
25. Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by a qualified electrician in accordance
with all applicable codes and standards.
Caution: For circuits which are far away from
the electrical service box, the wire size must
be increased in order to deliver ample voltage
to the motor. To minimize power losses and to
prevent motor overheating and burnout, the
use of wire sizes for branch circuits or
electrical extension cords according to Table 2
(sect. 6.2) is recommended.
26. Use only recommended accessories and
follow manufacturer’s instructions pertaining to
them.
