Test Run
Wear safety glasses whenever starting or using machine. Failure to comply may result in serious personal injury.
Keep loose clothing rolled up and out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back.
Once the assembly is complete, test run your machine to make sure it runs properly, and to test prominent safety features installed on the machine.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the machine immediately, then review the Troubleshooting on Page 29.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our Tech Support at (570)
