ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is
completely assembled and installed according to
the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled
can cause serious injury.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor,

familiar with the operation of this machine.
Knowledge is safety.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or
electrocution.
4. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE "ON" before
clearing the table/work area of all objects (tools,
scraps of wood, etc.). Flying debris is dangerous.
5. NEVER TURN THE MACHINE "ON" with the work-

can occur.
6. SECURE THE MACHINE to a supporting surface.
Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or
tip over.
7. COVER THE POWER TAkE-OFF SHAFT when not
using accessories. Unguarded rotating shafts can
create an entanglement hazard which can result in
injury.
8. USE A DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM. Some types
of wood are known to cause disease or other health
problems.
9. CLEAN THE MACHINE and dust collector thoroughly
when processing different types of workpieces
(wood, steel, or aluminum). Combining wood and
metal dust can create an explosion or fire hazard.

will result.
10. PREVENT THE WORkPIECE from contacting the
sanding belt before starting the tool. Loss of control
of the workpiece is dangerous.
11. AVOID AWkWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND

move into the abrasive disc or belt.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
