from the receptacle for any type of machine maintenance or adjustments. An additional safety feature
is the ability to adjust the material slide gate from the outside of the machine. Rotate the adjustment
handle clockwise to open the slide to the desired setting, no entrance into the machine is required.
All safety features are incorporated into the machine to protect everyone from serious
injury. Operate your machine according to the outlined instructions in the manual with all
guards in place and securely latched. Operation with any guards removed or open can result
in injury to or loss of fingers, hands, arms, toes, feet, legs, hair, and even your eyes.
