Like all power equipment, there is danger associated with the
Ironwood FX 750. Use caution and follow all safety instructions.
Take every precaution to protect yourself, others around you, and
the machine itself from improper use. Safety is a combination of
common sense, training, and being alert at all times while operating
your machine. If instructions, warnings, and cautions, are not
followed, serious personal injury or death may occur.
EYE PROTECTION:
Always wear approved safety glasses, or a
face shield when operating this machine. Only use eye protection
that meets or exceeds the standards of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
EAR PROTECTION:
Always wear ear protection during
machine operation.
DRESS CODE:
Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, jewelry, or
gloves that can get caught in moving parts. Confine long hair and
keep sleeves above the elbow.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING:
Your machine must be electrically
grounded. If a cord and plug are used, make certain the machine is
properly grounded. Follow the grounding procedure indicated by the
National Electric Code and local regulating authorities.
GUARDS:
Make certain that machine guards are in place and in
good working order. If a guard must be removed for any operation,
replace it immediately following completion of that operation.
TOOLING AND ACCESSORIES:
Use only recommended tooling
and accessories. Improper tooling and accessories may cause
damage to your machine or personal injury. Always run at the
correct speed and feed rate. Never force a tool or accessory to
perform a job for which it was not designed. Maintain your tools
and accessories. Knives should be sharpened and cleaned for
safe, optimal performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing tooling and accessories.
POWER:
On machines equipped with a manual starter, make sure
that the starter is in an “OFF” position before connecting power to
machine or electrical maintenance.
Make certain the machine is either unplugged or electrically
disconnected and locked out when performing all other
maintenance, cleaning, or machine adjustments. Never leave the
machine running unattended. Always turn the power off and stay by
the machine until the cutterhead comes to a complete stop.
HOUSEKEEPING:
Before turning machine on, remove all extra
items on or around the machine. Keep the work area clean and free
of scrap material, sawdust and other debris to minimize the danger
of slipping. Use compressed air or a brush to remove chips or
debris. NEVER use your hands.
