to ensure that it is properly disabled.

Disabling.Switch

The ON/OFF switch can be disabled and locked by

inserting a padlock through the ON button, as shown.

Locking the switch in this manner can prevent

unauthorized operation of the machine, which is

especially important if the machine is not stored inside an

access-restricted building.

IMPORTANT: Locking the switch with a padlock

only restricts its function. It is not a substitute for

disconnecting power from the machine when adjusting or

servicing.

Children or untrained people can be killed or

seriously injured by this machine. This risk increases

with unsupervised operation. To help prevent

unsupervised operation, disable and lock the switch

before leaving machine unattended! Place key in a

well-hidden or secure location.
