the Operating Instructions and Parts Manual as well as
all labels affixed to the machine. Failure to follow all of
these warnings can cause serious injuries.
3.1 Machinery General Safety Warnings
1. Always wear protective eye wear when operating
machinery. Eye wear shall be impact resistant,
protective safety glasses with side shields which
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications. Use of
eye wear which does not comply with ANSI Z87.1
specifications could result in severe injury from
breakage of eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or jewelry
which can get caught in moving parts. Contain
long hair. Rubber soled footwear is
recommended for best footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain proper
working position can cause you to fall into the
machine or cause your clothing to get caught —
pulling you into the machine.
4. Keep guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with guards
removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do not
use stationary machine tools in wet or damp
locations, or in an explosive environment. Keep
work areas clean and well lit. Special electrics
should be used when working on flammable
materials.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure the start
switch is “OFF” before plugging in the machine.
7. Machinery must be anchored to the floor.
8. Never leave the machine running while
unattended. Machine shall be shut off whenever
it is not in operation.
9. Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Whenever changing accessories or general
maintenance is done on the machine, electrical
power to the machine must be disconnected
before work is done.
10. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and the
changing of accessories. No attempt shall be
made to modify or have makeshift repairs done to
the machine. This not only voids the warranty but
also renders the machine unsafe.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work,
when practical. It is safer than using your hands
and it frees both hands to operate the machine.
12. Never brush away chips while the machine is in
operation.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning machine on.
15. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
16. Use only recommended accessories and follow
manufacturer’s instructions pertaining to them.
17. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts
and cutting surfaces.
18. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from
the work area. Make workshop completely safe
by using padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
19. Know the tool you are using; its application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
