Never use a tool

 with a malfunctioning switch.

 

Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the 

switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using. 

·

 

Disconnect the power from tool 

and place the switch in the locked or off position before 

servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety 
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

 

·

 

Store idle tools. 

When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the reach of 

children. Inspect tools for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. 

·

 

Maintain your tools. 

It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined 

before it is used. Keep your tools in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair 
and maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this manual. If any 
abnormal vibrations or noise occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem 
corrected before further use. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.

 

·

 

Cleaning and Lubrication.

 

Use only soap and a damp cloth to clean your tools. Many 

household cleaners are harmful to plastics and other insulation. Never let liquid get inside a tool.

 

·

 

Use only accessories that are recommended 

by the manufacturer for your model.

 

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another 
tool. 

·

 

Keep guards in place 

and in working order. 

·

 

Never leave 

tool running unattended. Turn off and unplug the machine before leaving.     

·

 

Make  sure

 the curb machine is used on a dry, flat, level, ground surface. Avoid steep inclines 

where the curb machine could possibly tip over. 

·

 

Maintain  labels

 and nameplates on the curb machine for they carry important information.    If 

unreadable or missing, contact Northern Tool & Equipment for a replacement. 

·

 

Never stand

 on the curb machine. Serious injury could result if the machine is tipped over. 

·

 

Check the hopper

 and chute of the curb machine for unwanted debris before each use. 

·

 

Never  attempt

  to  remove  material  stuck  in  the  moving  parts  of  the  curb  machine  when  it  is 

plugged into an electrical outlet. 

·

 

Allow  the  motor

  of  the  curb  machine  to  reach  full  speed  before  feeding  concrete  into  the 

hopper. When turning off the curb machine, allow the motor to stop on its own. 

·

 

Inspect the concrete

 before feeding it into the hopper of the curb machine. To avoid damaging 

the machine, make sure the concrete does not contain metal, large rocks, or any other foreign 
material.
