Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER'S MANUAL. Read and understand this owner's manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only
allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect
power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around
children. Make your workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use 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
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 touching
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.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended
startup or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-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, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk
of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material.
Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing 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 projectiles upon
startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal
before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool 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 tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure
that can lead to personal injury or death!
