Wilton’s machinery is among the best in design and
safety. However, any machine used improperly can
be rendered inefficient and unsafe. It is absolutely
mandatory that those who use our products be
properly trained in how to use them correctly. They
should read and understand the Operators and Parts
Manual as well as all labels affixed to the machine.
Failure in following all of these warnings can cause
serious injuries. - Misuse of this machine can cause serious injury.
- For safety, machine must be set up, used and
serviced properly.

operator’s and parts manual which was shipped with
your machine.

- Always avoid using machine in damp or poorly
lighted work areas.

1. Always wear protective eye wear when
operating machinery. Eye wear shall be impact
resistant, protective safety glasses with side shields
which comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of
eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications could result in severe injury from
breakage of eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving parts.
Rubber soled footwear is recommended for best
footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain
proper working position can cause you to fall into the
machine or cause your clothing to get caught —
pulling you into the machine.
4. Keep guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with guards
removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do
not use stationary machine tools in wet or damp
locations. Keep work areas clean and well lit.

flammable materials.

unattended. Machine shall be shut off whenever it is
not in operation.
8. Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Whenever changing accessories or general mainte-
nance is done on the machine, electrical power to the
machine must be disconnected before work is done.
9. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow
all maintenance instructions for lubricating and the
changing of accessories. No attempt shall be made
to modify or have makeshift repairs done to the
machine. This not only voids the warranty but also
renders the machine unsafe.
10. Machinery must be anchored to the floor.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work, when practical. It is safer than using your
hands and it frees both hands to operate the ma-
chine.
