READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
WILL RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
1.Thoroughly read the instruction manual before operating your machine. Learn the applications,
limitations and potential hazards of this machine. Keep manual in a safe, convenient place for
future reference.
2.Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter and inadequate lighting invite potential hazards.
3.Ground all tools. If a machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it must be plugged into a
threehole grounded electrical receptacle or grounded extension cord. If using an adapter to aid in
accommodating a two-hole receptacle, ground using a screw to a known ground.
4.Wear eye protection at all times. Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles that meet
the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
5.Avoid dangerous environments. DO NOT operate this machine in wet or open flame environments.
Airborne dust particles could cause an explosion and severe fire hazard.
6.Ensure all guards are securely in place and in working condition.
7.Make sure the machine power switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to machine.
8.Keep the work area clean, free of clutter, grease, etc.
9.Keep children and visitors away. Visitors should be kept at a safe distance while operating unit.
10.Childproof your workshop with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
11.Stop and disconnect the machine when cleaning, adjusting or servicing.

12.DO NOT force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.
13.Use correct tool. DO NOT force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14.Wear proper apparel. DO NOT wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, and secure long hair
away from moving parts.
15.Remove adjusting keys, rags, and tools. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check
that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.
16.Avoid using an extension cord. But if you must, examine the extension cord to ensure it is in good
condition. Use the “Extension Cord Requirements” table below to determine the correct length and
gauge of extension cord needed for your particular needs. The amp rating of the motor can be found
on its nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be sure to use the amp rating for the voltage you will
be using. 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.
Always use an extension cord that uses a ground pin and connected ground wire. Immediately replace
a damaged extension cord.
17.Keep proper footing and balance at all times and lock mobile base from freely rolling before using
your machine.
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 cre-
ates 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 men-
tioned above.
21.If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the
machine! Contact our service department or ask a qualified expert how the operation should be per-
formed.
22.Habits are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and consistent safety practices will
become second-nature to you.
Operating this equipment creates the
potential for flying debris to cause eye
injury. Always wear safety glasses or gog-
gles when operating equipment. 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).
