You — the stationary power tool user — hold the key to safety.
Read and follow these simple rules for best results and full benefits from your machine. Used properly, 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.
General Machinery Warnings
1. Always wear protective eye wear when operating ma-
chinery. 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 the breakage of the eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or jewelry which
can get caught in moving parts. Rubber soled, nonslip,
footwear is recommended for best footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain a 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 the guards in place and in proper working order.
Do not operate the machine with the guards removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do not use sta-
tionary machine tools in wet or damp locations. Keep work
areas clean and well lit.
6. Special electrical precautions should be taken when
working on flammable materials.
7. Avoid accidental starts by being sure that the start switch
is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the machine.
8. Never leave the machine running while unattended. The
machine shall be shut off whenever it is not being used.
9. Disconnect the electrical power before servicing, when-
ever changing accessories or when general maintenance
is done on the machine.
10. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all mainte-
nance instructions for lubricating and the changing of ac-
cessories. 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. The machinery must be anchored to the floor.
11. Secure your work. Use clamps or a vise to hold your
work, when practical. It is safer than using your hands and
it frees both hands to operate the machine.
12. Never brush chips away while the machine is in opera-
tion.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning
the machine on.
15. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed for.
16. Use only recommended accessories and follow manu-
facturers instructions pertaining to them.
17. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts and
cutting surfaces.
18. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the
work area. Make your workshop completely safe by using
padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
19. Know the tool you are using — its application, limita-
tions, and potential hazards.
- For safety, the machine must be set up, used and
serviced properly.
- Read, understand and follow the instructions in the
operator’s and parts manual which was shipped with
your machine.
When setting up the machine:
- Always avoid using the machine in damp or poorly
lighted work areas.
- Always be sure the machine is securely anchored to the
floor.
- Always keep the machine guards in place.
- Always put the start switch in the “OFF” position before
plugging in the machine.
