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 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.

Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris that can cause eye injury. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
