owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
Untrained users can be seriously hurt.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating

eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware
of dust hazards associated with workpiece
materials, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!
