SAFETY
-5-
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. 16.Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must,
examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good
condition. Use
TABLE 1 to determine the correct
length and gauge of extension cord needed for your
particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be
found on its 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. Always
use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and
connected ground wire. Immediately replace a
damaged extension cord.
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. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop using
the machine! Contact our service department or
ask a qualified expert how the operation 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.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Operating this
equipment creates the potential for flying
debris that can cause eye injury. Everyday
glasses or reading glasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet
the appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
