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 chuck keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that

all chuck 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 the mobile base from moving before feeding the workpiece into the machine.

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. 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.

22. Be aware that certain materials may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially

when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know what type of material dust you will be exposed to

and the possibility of an allergic reaction.

23. Habits—good and bad—are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become

second-nature to you.
