DO NOT PLACE HANDS ON THE GRIT SURFACE DRIVE BELTS DURING
OPERATION.
Belts in motion could drag a hand into the machine and cause injury.
AVOID AWKWARD
OPERATIONS
AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could
cause hands to move into the cutting area.
NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE MUFFLER BAG IN PLACE.
The bag
captures dust and debris from machining operations.
NEVER LOOK INTO THE VACUUM OUTLET DURING MACHINE OPERATION.
Machining debris could be thrown out at high speed and cause eye injury.
TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IF A STRANGE NOISE OR HEAVY VIBRATION
OCCURS.
Immediately turn off the system. Then locate and correct the source of the problem before
restarting.
USE A SUPPORT FOR LONG WORKPIECES.
To minimize the risk of over stressing the
machine, use a sturdy "outrigger" support when carving long workpieces more than 36
inches in length. Never substitute
a person for a proper support.
USE RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES.
Using improper accessories may risk injury.
Consult the accessories section for recommended
accessories.
USE ONLY APPROVED CUTTING BITS to ensure quality and to avoid equipment
damage or injury.
KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP.
Sharp bits minimize workpiece burning, poor cut
quality, and stress to the system. Keep bits free of rust, grease, and pitch.
USE GLOVES TO HANDLE HOT CUTTING BITS. Recently used cutting bits are hot,
and all bits have sharp edges; gloves will help prevent cuts and burns.
USE ONLY ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
Repairs using other than original
replacement
parts may create a hazard as well as damage to the machine.
To ensure
proper repair using original replacement parts, a qualified service technician at a Sears
service center should make all repairs, whether electrical or mechanical.
DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF THE POWER SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF.
Have defective switches replaced by a Sears service center.
CUT ONLY WOOD, PLASTIC OR WOOD-LIKE
MATERIALS.
Do not cut metal.
NEVER cut more than one piece at a time.
DO NOT STACK more than one workpiece in the CompuCarve at a time.
BE SURE THE WORKPIECE
PATH IS FREE OF NAILS.
Inspect for, and remove all
nails, staples, and protruding features from the lumber before cutting.
KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE.
Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any
solvents to clean the system.
DO NOT STAND ON TOOL.
Serious injury can occur if tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.
