For your own safety, read the owner’s manual before operating the rotary machine.
This rotary machine is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced
personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a rotary machine, do
not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. Avoid placing any part of your body
near belts, cutters, gears, etc.
3. DO NOT EXCEED 22 GAUGE RATED CAPACITY on this rotary machine.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
6. MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Do not force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
9. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other
jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
10. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

12. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
13. NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped.
14. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
15. SHEET METAL STOCK HAS SHARP EDGES. To prevent cuts, use caution when handling.
16. KEEP HANDS AND FINGERS clear of the area in front and rear of the rotary machine.

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
YOUR RISK FROM THESE EXPOSURES varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles
