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.
6. ALWAYS FEED BITS EVENLY AND
SMOOTHLY. Do not force bit while boring.
7. BIT(S) SHOULD BE RUNNING AT FULL
SPEED before beginning to bore.
8. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS,
AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE DONE
WITH THE POWER OFF AND THE
MACHINE DISCONNECTED FROM THE
POWER SOURCE. Wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop.
9. HABITS – GOOD AND BAD – ARE HARD
TO BREAK. Develop good habits in your
shop and safety will become second-
nature to you.
