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
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss
of workpiece control.
HAZARDOUS.DUST..Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and 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!
INTENDED.USAGE..Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!
AWKWARD.POSITIONS..Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN.&.BYSTANDERS..Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.
GUARDS.&.COVERS..Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris—make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.
Model W1668/W1848 (Mfd. Since 08/16)
FORCING.MACHINERY..Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER.STAND.ON.MACHINE..Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE.MACHINE..Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine
is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE.RECOMMENDED.ACCESSORIES..Consult
this owner's manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED.OPERATION..To reduce the risk
of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN.WITH.CARE..Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A
machine that is improperly maintained could
malfunction, leading to serious personal injury
or death.
CHECK.DAMAGED.PARTS..Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.
MAINTAIN.POWER.CORDS..When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh
chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING.DIFFICULTIES..If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the
intended operation, stop using the machine!
