Read the Manual. Always read the owner's manual carefully before attempting to use the machine. Know the
limitations and hazards associated with its use.
Eyes. Always wear approved safety goggles, glasses, or a face shield when operating this machine.
Dress Code. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties, jewelry, or gloves that can get caught in moving parts. Confine
long hair. Keep sleeves above the elbow.
Electrical Grounding. Your machine must be electrically grounded. If a cord and plug are used, make certain the
grounding lug connects to a suitable ground. Follow the grounding procedure indicated by the National Electric
Code.
Guards. Keep machine guards in place at all times when machine is in use. If removed for maintenance pur-
poses, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately.
Do not overreach. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against blades or other
moving parts.
Power off. Make sure the machine is either unplugged or electrically disconnected and locked out when perform-
ing maintenance or service work.
Housekeeping. Before turning on machine, remove all extra equipment such as keys, wrenches, scrap, stock,
and cleaning rags from the machine. Keep the area around machine clean and free of scrap material and sawdust
to mimimize the danger of slipping.
Power on. On machines equipped with a manual starter make sure the starter is in "OFF" position before
connecting power to machine.
Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attachment to do a job which it was not designed for.
Check damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other condition that may affect the machine's operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
Turn power off. Never leave machine running unattended. Do not leave machine until it comes to a complete
stop.
No horseplay. Give your work your undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation, and "horse-
play" are careless acts that can result in serious injury.
Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
Collect wood materials only. Metal shavings and dust can set wood dust on fire.
Do not expose the dust collector to moisture or wet surfaces. Use only indoors and on a dry surface to avoid the
risk of electrical shock.
Do not use the dust collector around flammable products. Sparks may ignite the vapors.
Do not operate the dust collector without the hose connected to the suction chute. Hazardous moving parts are
inside and could cause serious injury.
Drugs, alcohol, medication. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
