12.Do not force the machine. The machine will do a safer and better job if it does the work.

13.Use the correct tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

14.Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, jewelry, keep long hair tied up, etc.

15.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Before turning the machine on, make a habit of checking that all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed before turning the machine ON.

16.DO NOT use extension cord. Due to the high-amperage draw of this industrial machine, we do not recommend using an extension cord. 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.

17.Keep stable 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.

WEAR safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris to 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).
