SAFETY
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. DO NOT LEAVE MACHINE UNATTENDED. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the
area.
19. PERFORM ALL MACHINE MAINTENANCE. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
20. 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 explosion. Do not operate the machine in high-risk areas, including but not limited to, those
mentioned above.
21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Then contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the opera-
tion should be performed.
22. HABITS—GOOD AND BAD—ARE HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will
become second-nature to you.
