GENERAL SAFETY RULES

 

Speedrooter XL

®

  

 

Electric  shock  resulting  in 

death  can  occur  if  you  plug 

this machine into an improper-

ly  wired  outlet.    If  the  ground 

wire  is  electrified,  you  can  be 

electrocuted  by  just  touching 

the  machine,  even  when  the 

power  switch  is  off.   

A ground 

fault circuit interrupter will not pro-

tect  you  in  this  situation.    Use  a 

UL  approved  tester  to  determine 

if the outlet is safe.

 

 

Do  not  operate  power  tools  in    

explosive  atmospheres,  such 

as  in  the  presence  of  flamma-

ble  liquids,  gases,  or  dust.

  

Power  tools  create  sparks  which 

may ignite the dust of fumes.

 

Only  wear  leather  gloves.  Nev-

er use any other type of glove, 

such  as  cloth,  rubber,  or  coat-

ed gloves.  Never grasp a rotat-

ing  cable  with  a  rag.   

These 

items  could  become  wrapped 

around the cable and cause seri-

ous injury.

 

 

Always  wear  safety  glasses 

and  rubber  soled,  non

-

slip 

shoes. 

 

 

Use of this safety equip-

ment may prevent serious injury.

 

Never  operate  machine  with 

belt  guard  removed.

    Fingers 

can  get  caught  between  belt  and 

pulley.

 

 

Do not overstress cables.  

 

Overstressing  cables  may  cause 

twisting,  kinking,  or  breaking  of 

the  cable  and  may  result  in  seri-

ous injury.

 

 

These instructions are intended to 

 

familiarize all personnel with the safe 

 

operation and maintenance 

 

procedures for the Speedrooter XL. 

 

DANGER indicates a hazard with a high level of risk 
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

 

WARINING indicates a hazard with a medium level of risk 
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

 

CAUTION indicates a hazard with a low level of risk which, 
if not avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury.

 

 

This is the safety alert symbol. It is 

used to alert you to potential personal 

injury hazards. Obey all safety mes-

sages that follow this symbol to avoid
