Safety Instructions for Machinery
4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION
WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY.
Machinery noise can cause permanent
hearing loss.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
or jewelry that can catch in moving parts.

Safety Instructions for Machinery
16. REMOVE CHUCK KEYS OR ADJUSTING
TOOLS. Make a habit of never leaving
chuck keys or other adjustment tools in/on
the machine—especially near spindles!
17. DAMAGED MACHINERY. Check for bind-
ing or misaligned parts, broken parts,
loose bolts, other conditions that may
impair machine operation. Always repair or
replace damaged parts before operation.
18. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at
the speed for which the machine or acces-
sory was designed.
19. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or
a vise to hold the workpiece when practi-
cal. A secured workpiece protects your
hands and frees both hands to operate the
machine.
20. DO NOT OVERREACH. Maintain stability
and balance at all times when operating
machine.
21. MANY MACHINES CAN EJECT
WORKPIECES TOWARD OPERATOR.
Know and avoid conditions that cause the
workpiece to "kickback."
22. STABLE MACHINE. Machines that move
during operations greatly increase the
risk of injury and loss of control. Verify
machines are stable/secure and mobile
bases (if used) are locked before starting.
23. CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAzARDOUS
to the respiratory systems of people and
animals, especially fine dust. Be aware of
the type of dust you are exposed to and
always wear a respirator designed to filter
that type of dust.
24. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at
any time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Contact our Technical
Support Department at (570) 546-9663.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.

Hardware Recognition Chart
The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative has been your machine's
close ally and guardian since it left the factory.
If your machine arrived to you free of rust, then
be thankful that the rust preventative protected
it during its journey...and try to stay thankful as
you clean it off, because it can be challenging to
remove if you are unprepared and impatient.
Plan on spending some time cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this will
reward you with smooth sliding parts and a better
appreciation for the proper care of your machine's
unpainted surfaces.
Although there are many ways to successfully
remove the rust preventative, these instructions
walk you through what works well for us.
Before cleaning, gather the following:
• Disposable Rags
• Cleaner/degreaser (see below)
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
Basic steps for removing rust preventative:
1. Put on safety glasses and disposable
gloves.
2. Coat all surfaces that have rust preventative
with a liberal amount of your cleaner/degreas-
er and let them soak for few minutes.
3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreas-
er is effective, the rust preventative will wipe
off easily.
Note: To clean off thick coats of rust preven-
tative on flat surfaces, such as tables, use
a PLASTIC paint scraper to scrape off the
majority of the coating before wiping it off with
your rag. (Do not use a metal scraper or you
may scratch your machine.)
4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean,
then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality
metal protectant to prevent rust.
Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode
or cause fire if used to
clean machinery. Avoi d
using these products
to clean machinery.
Many cleaning solvents
are toxic if inhaled.
Minimize your risk by only
using these products in a
well ventilated area.
NOTICE
Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as
acetone or brake parts cleaner that may
damage painted surfaces. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using
any type of cleaning product.
Note: In a pinch, automotive degreasers, mineral
spirits or WD•40 can be used to remove rust pre-
ventative. Before using these products, though,
test them on an unnoticeable area of your paint to
make sure they will not damage it.

Weight Load
Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work-
piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main-
tenance and service described in this manual.
See below for working clearances.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where your machine
is operated is important for safe operation and
the longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemi-
cals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20–95% (non-condensing); or the
environment is subject to vibration, shocks, or
bumps.
Electrical Installation
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals,
or other hazards. Make sure to leave access to
a means of disconnecting the power source or
engaging a lockout/tagout device.
Lighting
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract
or impede the operator must be eliminated.
Children or untrained people
may be seriously injured by
this machine. Only install in an
access restricted location.
