WARNING:

throughout
this manual.

out important
safety
precautions.
It means

--
Personal
safety
is involved!
•
WHILE USING MACHINE, make sure that the power to the machine is kept constant.
Using other high power draw machines on the same power leg may cause the
machine to lose position and damage the workpiece.
•
BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure that all mechanical adjustments and settings are
secure. Until thoroughly familiar with the operation, it is a good idea to create a checklist to
help ensure all are secure.
•
REMOVE WRENCHES
AND ADJUSTING
KEYS.
Get in the habit of checking - before
turning on the tool - that any hex keys or adjusting wrenches are removed from tool.
•
CHECK FOR DAMAGE.
Before using the tool, routinely check for any damaged parts,
including guards. Look for anything that could interfere with proper operation and
performance, such as any binding or misalignment of moving parts or any sign of
instability in the carving system. A damaged part must be properly repaired or replaced by
a qualified service technician at a repair center to avoid risk of personal injury.
•
BE SURE THE BIT CLEARS THE WORKPIECE.
Never start the system with the bit
touching the work piece.
•
DO NOT HOLD OR STRESS THE FLEX SHAFT DURING OPERATION.
Placing stress
on the shaft during operation will accelerate wear and cause premature failure.
•
NEVER ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT SAFTY DEVICES OR INTERLOCKS.
Guards and other
safety devices protect the user from injury; do not try to bypass or remove them.
•
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. When the machine is running, never
reach underneath the workpiece or into the blade-cutting path for any reason.
