dusters or flammable aerosol dusters can cause an
explosive-like condition that could result in personal injury
and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters
labeled flammable and always read instructions and safety
precautions on the duster label.
• To obtain supplies, please contact our Supply Line™ to
place orders. Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained
on the web or from our Supply Line™. Refer to the Contact
Information List for more information.

it into a properly grounded wall outlet located near the
machine and easily accessible. Failure to properly ground
the machine can result in severe personal injury and/or
fire.
• Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the
machine is in use. Keep hands, loose clothing, jewellery
and long hair away from all moving parts.

venting of the equipment and to facilitate servicing.

disconnecting the machine from the AC supply.
• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Avoid using wall outlets that are controlled by wall
switches, or shared with other equipment.
• Do not route the power cord over sharp edges or trap
between furniture.
• Ensure there is no strain on the power cord and that it
does not become jammed between the equipment, walls
or furniture.
• Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle into
which the machine is plugged is free from obstruction.
• Before clearing a stoppage, be sure machine mechanisms
come to a stop.
• When removing stalled material, avoid using too much
force to protect against minor personal injury and
damaging equipment.
• To prevent overheating, do not cover any vent openings.
• Operation of this equipment without periodic maintenance
will inhibit optimum operating performance and could
cause the equipment to malfunction. Contact your machine
supplier for required service schedule.
