with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. if normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.

LOSS Of STAbiLiTy. unsupported workpieces
may jeopardize machine stability and cause the
machine to tip and fall which could cause serious
injury.
fiRE hAzARD. use eXtreme CautioN if cut-
ting magnesium. using the wrong cutting fluid will
lead to chip fire and possible explosion.
ATTENTiON TO WORK AREA. Never leave a
machine running and unattended. pay attention
to the actions of others in the area to avoid unin-
tended accidents.
MAiNTENANCE/SERviCE.
adjustments, and maintenance are to be done
with the power oFF and the plug pulled from the
outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a com-
plete stop.
hEARiNG pROTECTiON & hAzARDS. Noise
generated by blade and workpiece vibration,
material handling, and power transmission can
cause permanent hearing loss over time and inter-
fere with communication and audible signals.
hOT SURfACES. Contact with hot surfaces from
contamination,
machine components, ejections of hot chips,
swarf, and the workpiece itself can cause burns.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
