PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while
the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can
cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
WARNING:
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a fautly receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
6.
For safety sake, use the provided Allen key to make absolutely sure that the hexagon
socket bolt is securely clamped. Use of the unit with the bolt in a loosely clamped
condition can result in damage to the unit and cutter as well as accidents.
7. Confirm that the cutter is in sharp condition.
Make certain that the cutter is in a sharp condition. Continued use of a worn out and
deformed cutter with dull edges results in damage to the unit and cutter as well as
accidents.
