1.1
General Machinery Warnings
1. Always wear protective eye wear when operating
machinery. 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 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 stationary machine tools in wet or damp
locations. Keep work areas clean and well lit.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure that the start
switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in
the machine.
7. Never leave the machine running while
unattended. The machine shall be shut off
whenever it is not being used.
8. Disconnect the electrical power before servicing,
whenever changing accessories or when general
maintenance is done on the machine.
9. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and the
changing of accessories. 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. If there is any risk of tipping or sliding, 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
operation.
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 for which it was not designed.
16. Use only recommended accessories and follow
manufacturer’s 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,
limitations, and potential hazards.
20. Do not stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
21.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function- check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced.

General Electrical Cautions
This machine must be grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. The work should be done by a qualified
electrician. The machine must be grounded to protect
the user from electrical shock.
CAUTION:
For circuits that are a great distance from
the electrical service box, the wire size must be
increased in order to deliver ample voltage to the
motor. To minimize power losses and to prevent motor
overheating and burnout, the use of wire sizes for
branch circuits or electrical extension cords according
to the following table is recommended:
