14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, etc.

15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the machine on. Make this a habit!

16. Use proper extension cord. When using an extension cord, make sure it is in good condition. Use

extension cords 100' or less in length that are rated Hard Service (grade S) or better, and that have
a conductor size of 16 A.W.G. A drop in line voltage, loss of power and overheating can result when
using an undersized cord. The extension cord must have a ground wire and ground plug pin, as well.

17. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

18. Do not leave machine unattended—wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.

19. Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions

in the manual.

20. Keep machine away from open flame. Operating machines near pilot lights and/or open flames

creates a high risk if dust is dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an ignition source may cause
an explosion. Do not operate the machine in high risk areas, including but not limited to, those
mentioned above.

21. Do not use machine under the influence of drugs or alcohol or if you are excessively tired.

22. Do not let untrained people use the machine if they are not supervised by an experienced

machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should
be performed.

24. Mag switches can be accidentally turned on when they are bumped. Always be aware of the mag

switch location when moving items around the shop.
