manual before using this collet closer.

:
This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, or birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
11. This product, when used for welding, cutting, or
working with metal, produces fumes, gases, or
dusts which contain chemicals known to the

12. Make certain the switch is in the OFF position
before connecting the machine to the power
supply.
13. Make certain the machine is properly grounded.
14. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance
with the machine unplugged from the power
source.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the machine
before turning it on.
16. Keep safety guards in place at all times when
the machine is in use. If removed for
maintenance purposes, use extreme caution
and replace the guards immediately after
completion of maintenance.
17. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.
18. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
19. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
20. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
21. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
22. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
23. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall or lean against the cutter or other
moving parts. Do not overreach or use
excessive force to perform any machine
operation.
24. Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed
rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed. The right tool
will do the job better and more safely.
25.
Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
26. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean for the best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
