OPERATION MANUAL
2.1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
OWNER’S MANUAL.
Read and understand this
owner’s manual before using the machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY
. Untrained op-
erators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis-
connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use
the machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or
have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these
areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and
injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED
. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of the
machinery. Never operate under the influence of
drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS
.
You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touch-
ing live electrical components or improperly
grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only
allow qualified service personnel to do electrical
installation or repair work, and always disconnect
power before accessing or exposing electrical
equipment.
EYE PROTECTION
. Always wear approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are not approved safety glasses.
WEARING PROPER APPAREL
. Do not
wear clothing, or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips.
HEARING PROTECTION.
Always wear
hearing protection when operating or observ-
ing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS
. Tools left
on machinery can become dangerous pro-
jectiles upon startup. Never leave drill chuck
keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always make sure they are removed before
starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB.
Only
use this machine for its intended purpose.
Do not force it or an attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed. Never make
unapproved modifications. Modifying tools
or using it not as it was intended may result
in malfunction or mechanical failure that can
lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS.
Keep proper
footing and balance at all times when oper-
ating the machine. Do not overreach! Avoid
awkward hand positions that make workpiece
control difficult or increase the risk of injury.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers
reduce accidental contact with moving parts
or flying debris. Make sure they are properly
installed, undamaged, and working correctly.
