SAFETY
-5-
12. Do not force the machine. The machine will do a safer and better job if it does the work.
13. Use the correct tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
14. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up, etc.
15. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make a habit of checking
that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed before turning the machine ON.
16. DO NOT use extension cord. Due to the high-amperage draw of this industrial machine, we do not
recommend using an extension cord. 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 stable 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! Then 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.
WEAR safety glasses or goggles when
operating equipment. Operating this
equipment creates the potential for flying
debris to 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).
