Recognizing Existing Controls
The MAKESafe Power Tool Control is designed for use on tools with a simple on/off switch and no
pre-existing electronic controls. If your power tool has any other controls, electronic indicators,
digital displays, starters, dials or variable controls, magnetic switches, or variable frequency drives
- do not install the MAKESafe Power Tool Control. If you have questions about compatibility,
contact MAKESafe Tools for assistance.
You can find a video companion for these installation and calibration instructions on our website at
www.makesafetools.com.
1. Unbox the product and inspect the device and shipping containers for any damage that may
have been incurred during shipping.
2. Plug your control panel into the product by inserting the silver connector on the control panel
cable into the mating connector on the product. The connector will only fit in one orientation
so rotate it gently until it snaps into place. Once mated, manually screw the control panel
connector clockwise to lock it in place. Hand-tighten the connector until snug (do not use
tools to tighten).
3. Plug your power tool into the power tool receptacle on the product. It is important to plug
your tool into the product before plugging the product into the wall.
4. Once your power tool is plugged into the product, plug the product into a power outlet.
5. Mount the control panel to your power tool in a convenient to access location.
6. Turn the on/off switch on your power tool to the 'on' position. Note that the power tool
switch must now remain in the 'on' position at all times. To prevent tampering or otherwise
being turned 'off', cover the power tool switch. If this device is being used in a workplace,
refer to the Occupational Safety Standards section for further information.
7. Now that you have completed the installation, proceed to the Calibration section to calibrate
your device.
