General Safety Rules for Machinery
For your own safety, please read and understand this instruction manual before installing
and operating the machine.
Electrical Equipment Injury Risk: You can be shocked, burned or killed by touching live electrical
components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow a qualified service
professional to complete electrical installation or repair work. Always disconnect the power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
Disconnect the Power First: Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before making
adjustments, changing tooling or servicing the machine. This prevents an injury from unintended
start-up or contact with live electrical components.
Eye Protection: Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses or face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Your everyday eye
glasses are NOT approved safety protection.
Wearing Proper Apparel: Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelery that can become entangled in
moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and
losing control or accidentally contacting the cutting tool or moving parts.
Hazardous Dust: Dust created by machinery operation can cause cancer, birth defects or long-term
respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear
a AS/NZS-approved respirator to reduce risk.
Owners Manual: Read and understand this owners manual before using the machine.
Failure to Read This Manual: Failure to adhere to the safety instructions in this manual will have a
higher risk of serious personal injury or injury to others. Only allow competent users and supervised
people to use the machine.
Always Disconnect the Power: When the machine is not in use, disconnect the power, remove the
switch keys or lock the machine to prevent any unauthorised use - especially if children are around.
Child proof your workshop!
Dangerous Environments: Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor
lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increase the risk of accidents and injury.
Mental Alertness Required: Full mental concentration is required at all times for the safe operation
of machinery. Never operate a machine under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired or when
distracted.
