SAFETY
-5-
12.Do not force tool. The machine will do a safer and better job at the rate for which it was designed.
13.Use correct tool. Do not force machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
14.Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, neck ties, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up,
etc.
15.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make it a habit to check that
all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed.
16.
16.Use proper extension cord. Examine the
extension cord to ensure it is in good
condition. Use TABLE 1 to determine the
correct length and gauge of extension cord
needed for your particular needs. The amp
rating of the motor can be found on its
nameplate. If the motor is dual voltage, be
sure to use the amp rating for the voltage
you will be using. If you use an extension
cord with an undersized gauge or one that is
too long, excessive heat will be generated
within the circuit increasing the chance of a
fire or damage to the circuit. Always use an
extension cord that uses a ground pin and
connected ground wire. Immediately replace
a damaged extension cord.
17.Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
18.Do not leave machine unattended. Wait until it comes to a complete stop before leaving the area.
19.Perform machine maintenance and care. Follow lubrication and accessory attachment instructions
in the manual.
20.Keep machine away from open flame.
Operating machines near pilot lights and/or
open flames creates a high risk if dust is
dispersed in the area. Dust particles and an
ignition source may cause an explosion. Do
not operate the machine in high-risk areas,
including but not limited to, those
mentioned above.
21.If at any time you are experiencing
difficulties performing the intended
operation, stop using the machine! Then
contact our service department or ask a
qualified expert how the operation should
be performed.
22.Habits—good and bad—are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safety
will become second-nature to you.

operating equipment. Operating this
equipment creates the potential for flying
debris that can cause eye injury. Everyday

National Standards Institute (ANSI).
