at all times.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the ma-
chine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be care-
fully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function--check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repair or replaced.
NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave machine until it comes to
a complete stop.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.

the rate for which it was designed.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in the loss of power and overheat-
ing. Cord Size should be 18 AWG for 0-25 feet long, 16
AWG for 50-200 feet long, and 14 AWG for 150-300 feet
long. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry or cloth-
ing which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot-
wear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
SECURE WORK. Use Pressure Foot Assembly to hold
work. It’s safer than using your hand.
DO NOT USE ACCESSORIES WITH THIS PRODUCT.
Use of accessories or attachments may result in a risk of
injury to persons.
