12. Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was
designed.
13. Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair
away from moving parts.
15. Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check
that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.
16. Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must use one, examine the extension cord to ensure it
is in good condition. Immediately replace a damaged extension cord. Always use an extension cord
that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Use an extension cord that meets the amp rating
on the motor 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, increasing the chance of a fire or damage to the
circuit.
17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
18. Lock mobile base, if used, to prevent the machine from moving during operation.
19. Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the
area.
20. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
21. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights or open flames creates
a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause an explo-
sion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those mentioned
above.
22. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the
machine! Then contact our technical support or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be
performed.
23. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become
second-nature to you.
24. Be aware that certain metal shavings and cutting fluids may cause an allergic reaction in people
and animals, especially when cutting fumes can be inhaled. Make sure you know what type of metal
and cutting fluid you will be exposed to and how to avoid contamination.
