Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below during this entire section:

Operating this equipment has the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when oper- ating equipment. Everyday glasses or read- ing glasses only have impact resistant lens- es, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appro- priate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back during operations.

Never leave a chuck key in the chuck when it is not in use. If the machine is accidental- ly started, the chuck key can become a pro- jectile and cause serious personal injury.
