Entanglement:
Loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
jewelry or long hair may get caught in
moving parts, causing entanglement,
amputation, crushing, or strangulation.
Reduce this risk by removing/securing
these items so they cannot contact moving
parts.
Mental Alertness:
Operating this item with
reduced mental alertness increases the
risk of accidental injury. Do not let a
temporary influence or distraction lead to a
permanent disability! Never operate when
under the influence of drugs/alcohol, when
tired, or otherwise distracted.
Safe Environment:
Operating electrically
powered equipment in a wet environment
may result in electrocution; operating near
highly flammable materials may result in a
fire or explosion. Only operate this item in
a dry location that is free from flammable
materials.
Electrical Connection:
With electically powered
equipment, improper connections to the
power source may result in electrocution
or fire. Always adhere to all electrical
requirements and applicable codes when
connecting to the power source. Have all
work inspected by a qualified electrician to
minimize risk.
Disconnect Power:
Adjusting or servicing
electrically powered equipment while it
is connected to the power source greatly
increases the risk of injury from accidental
startup. Always disconnect power
BEFORE any service or adjustments,
including changing blades or other tooling.
Secure Workpiece/Tooling:
Loose workpieces,
cutting tools, or rotating spindles can
become dangerous projectiles if not
secured or if they hit another object during
operation. Reduce the risk of this hazard
by verifying that all fastening devices are
properly secured and items attached to
spindles have enough clearance to safely
rotate.
Chuck Keys or Adjusting Tools:
Tools used to
adjust spindles, chucks, or any moving/
rotating parts will become dangerous
projectiles if left in place when the machine
is started. Reduce this risk by developing
the habit of always removing these tools
immediately after using them.
Work Area:
Clutter and dark shadows increase
the risks of accidental injury. Only operate
this item in a clean, non-glaring, and well-
lighted work area.
Properly Functioning Equipment:
Poorly
maintained, damaged, or malfunctioning
equipment has higher risks of causing
serious personal injury compared to
those that are properly maintained.
To reduce this risk, always maintain
this item to the highest standards and
promptly repair/service a damaged or
malfunctioning component. Always follow
the maintenance instructions included in
this documentation.
Unattended Operation:
Electrically powered
equipment that is left unattended while
running cannot be controlled and is
dangerous to bystanders. Always turn the
power
OFF
before walking away.
Health Hazards:
Certain cutting fluids and
lubricants, or dust/smoke created when
cutting, may contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer,
respiratory problems, birth defects,
or other reproductive harm. Minimize
exposure to these chemicals by wearing
approved personal protective equipment
and operating in a well ventilated area.
Difficult Operations:
Attempting difficult
operations with which you are unfamiliar
increases the risk of injury. If you
experience difficulties performing the
intended operation, STOP! Seek an
alternative method to accomplish the
same task, ask a qualified expert how the
operation should be performed, or contact
our Technical Support for assistance.
