SAFETY
-5-
12. Do not force the machine.
The machine will do a safer and better job if IT does the work.
13. Use the correct tool.
Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14. Wear proper apparel.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up, etc.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Before turning the machine on, make a habit of checking
that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed before turning the machine
ON
.
16. Use proper extension cord.
Examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good condition. Use the
chart below to determine the correct length and gauge of extension cord needed for your particular
needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be
sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will be using. If you use an extension cord with an
undersized gauge or one that is too long, excessive heat will be generated within the circuit increas-
ing the chance of a fire or damage to the circuit. Never use an extension cord that does not have a
ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace an extension cord if it shows any signs
of damage.
17. Keep stable footing and balance
at all times.
18. Do not leave machine unattended.
Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.
19. Perform machine maintenance and care.
Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
20. Keep machine away from open flame.
Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames cre-
ates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an
explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those men-
tioned above.
21. If at any time you are experiencing
difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the
machine! Then contact our Service Department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should
be performed.
22. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become
second-nature to you.
Operating this equipment creates the
potential for flying debris to cause eye
injury. Always wear safety glasses or gog-
gles when operating equipment. Everyday
glasses or reading glasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet
the appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
