•Turn off all controls before unplugging.
•Do not operate this unit until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions. A unit incorrectly assembled can cause injury.
•Obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this unit. Knowledge is safety
•Follow all wiring codes and recommended electrical connections to prevent electrical shock or electrocution.
•Do not pull this unit by the power cord. Do not allow the power cord to come in contact with sharp instruments or edges, hot surfaces, or oil or grease. Do not place any weight on top of the power cord. A damaged power cord can cause electrical shock or electrocution.
•Maintain the unit in top condition. Keep fan area clean for best and safest performance. Clogged filters can increase the potential for fire or explosion. Follow all instructions for changing and cleaning filters. Also, ensure that the intake and exhaust areas are clear prior to starting the unit. Clogged intakes or exhausts can cause an explosion and/or fire.
•Keep arms, hands, and fingers away from the fan.
Avoid all exposure to rotating parts to prevent injury.
•Do not operate this unit without the dust collection bag in place and properly secured. Sawdust and other debris can provide the potential for fire and/or explosion and can also cause inhalation problems.
•Static shocks are possible in dry areas or when the relative humidity of the air is low. This is only temporary and does not affect the use of the vacuum. To reduce the frequency of static shocks, add moisture to the air with a console or installed humidifier.
•To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty dust collection bag after each use.
•Inspect the dust bag for cuts, rips, or tears. Replace damaged bags or vacuum hoses. Sawdust and other debris can provide the potential for fire and/or explosion and can also cause inhalation problems.
•Do not attempt to remove or replace the dust collection bag(s) while the unit is connected to the power source. Exposed fan blades can cause severe injuries.
•Store this unit in a location that eliminates the potential for damage to the power cord. A damaged power cord can cause shock or electrocution. Safely store power cord on the unit to eliminate tripping hazards.
• SEVERE LACERATION HAZARD. Turn the unit "off," disconnect the unit from the power source and wait 2-1/2 minutes to allow time for internal rotating components to stop before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, clearing clogs or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause serious injury.
•Turn the unit “off”, disconnect the unit from the power source, and clean the work area before leaving the area.
•Do not place open end of dust collection hose anywhere near the eyes or ears while operating.
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request and follow any safety information available from your material supplier.
