GROUND YOUR MACHINE
. See “Electrical Safety,” page 9.
17.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure your tool is turned OFF before plugging it in. Do not use the
machine if the power switch does not turn it on and off. Observe correct Lockout/Tagout procedures when
performing maintenance on the machine.
18.
DO NOT FORCE THE MACHINE. Your tool will perform best at the rate for which it was designed.
Excessive force only causes operator fatigue, increased wear, increased risk of binding or sudden breakage,
and reduced control.
19.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ALL CUTTING EDGES, MOVING PARTS AND PINCH POINTS.
20.
DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never unplug the cord by yanking it from the outlet. Pull the plug rather than
the cord to reduce the risk of damage. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp objects, cutting edges, and
moving parts.
21.
DO NOT OVERREACH. MAINTAIN CONTROL. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Maintain a
firm grip.
22.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense. Do not use a tool when you are tired,
distracted, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication causing decreased control.
23.
UNPLUG THE MACHINE/DISCONNECT POWER when it is not in use, before changing items such as bits
and before performing recommended maintenance. Observe appropriate Lockout/Tagout procedures.
24.
MAINTAIN TOOLS CAREFULLY. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Keep cutting
edges sharp and clean. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Periodically inspect
machine cords and extension cords for damage. Have damaged parts repaired or replaced.
25.
MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Safety Speed for a free replacement.
26. DO NOT USE PUSH STICKS.
27.
ALWAYS WAIT FOR THE BITS TO STOP COMPLETELY BEFORE CHANGING POSITIONS. Unplug the
machine and disconnect the air supply before transporting or moving it.
28.
DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS ON OR UNDER THE GUARDS, CLAMPS OR IN THE PATH OF THE BITS.
Do not try to retrieve a piece of material while the bits are rotating. This symbol is to remind you:
29.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE GUARDS OR OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE GUARDS IN PLACE. Do
not remove the router motor, drill motor or cycle motor from the mounting plate or carriage.
