General Safety Guidelines
1. FAMILIARIZE yourself with all safety instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and
hazards associated with this machine. Do not operate/service this machine until you are properly
trained.
2.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
, when done properly, reduce the risk of electrocution, shocks, and fire.
Make certain that the machine frame is electrically grounded and that a ground lead is included in the
incoming electrical service. In cases where a cord and a plug are used, make certain that the grounding
plug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure indicated in the electrical code
of your area.
3. DISCONNECT the machine from power before performing any service, maintenance, or adjustments.
A machine under repair should be RED TAGGED to show it should not be used until the repair is
complete.
4. EAR PROTECTION : Use hearing protective devices where the noise exceeds the level of exposure
allowed in Section 1910.95 of the OSHA Regulations. When in doubt, use it.
5. GUARDS : Keep machine guards in place for all applicable operations. If any guards are removed for
maintenance, DO NOT OPERATE the machine until all guards are reinstalled. Check clearance between
the guards and the cutter before starting the machine.
6. WORKPLACE SAFETY : Keep the floor around the machine clean. Scrap material, sawdust, oil, and
other liquids increase the risk of tripping or slipping. Be sure to clean up the table before starting the
machine. Make certain the work area is well lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to
minimize dust. Use anti-skid floor strips on the floor area where the operator normally stands and
mark off the machine work area. Wear protective footwear. Provide adequate workspace around the
machine.
7. ACCESS CONTROL should be enforced so only trained personnel can access the work area and operate
the machine. Use a childproof power switch when applicable.
8. STAY ALERT at all times. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs/alcohol, or
when not feeling well.
