GENERAL SAFETY
NOTE: The WARNING! and CAUTION! symbols indicate a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury. READ THIS
MANUAL completely before assembling and operating this machine.
WARNING! TO AVOID serious injury, death, or damage to the machine, please read,
understand, and follow, all Safety and Operating Instructions before assembling and operating
this machine. This manual is not totally comprehensive. It does not and cannot convey every
possible safety and operational problem which may arise while using this machine. The manual
will cover many of the basic and specific safety procedures needed in an industrial environment.
All federal and state laws, and any regulations having jurisdiction covering the safety
requirements for use of this machine, take precedence over the statements in this manual. Users
of this machine must adhere to all such regulations.
WARNING! Exposure to the dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury,
including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid
prolonged contact with dust. The dust may contain chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use a dust
collection system along with an air filtration system whenever possible. Always use properly
fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.
WARNING! ALWAYS wear eye protection. Any machine can throw debris into the eyes during
operations, which could cause severe and permanent eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses are
NOT safety glasses. ALWAYS wear Safety Goggles (that comply with ANSI standard Z87.1) when
operating power tools.
WARNING! ALWAYS wear hearing protection. Plain cotton is not an acceptable protective
device. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 Standards.
WARNING! ALWAYS wear a NIOSH/OSHA approved dust mask to prevent inhaling dangerous
dust or airborne particles.

GENERAL SAFETY (cont.)
ALWAYS keep the work area clean, well lit, and organized. DO NOT work in an area that has
slippery floor surfaces from debris, grease, and wax.
CAUTION! ALWAYS unplug the machine from the electrical receptacle when making
adjustments, changing parts or performing any maintenance.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
plugging in the power cord to the electrical receptacle.
WARNING! AVOID a dangerous working environment. DO NOT use electrical tools in a damp
environment or expose them to rain or moisture.
WARNING! CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA by removing switch keys, unplugging
tools from the electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
CAUTION! DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gasses.
DO NOT FORCE the machine to perform an operation for which it was not designed. It will do a
safer and higher quality job by only performing operations for which the machine was intended.
WARNING! DO NOT stand on a machine. Serious injury could result if it tips over or you
accidentally contact any moving part.
DO NOT store anything above or near the machine.
WARNING! DO NOT operate any machine or tool if under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
EACH AND EVERY time, check for damaged parts prior to using any machine. Carefully check all
guards to see that they operate properly, are not damaged, and perform their intended functions.
Check for alignment, binding or breakage of all moving parts. Any guard or other part that is
damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.
WARNING! Ground all machines. If any machine is supplied with a 3-prong plug, it must be
plugged into a 3-contact electrical receptacle. The third prong is used to ground the tool and
provide protection against accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove the third prong.
CAUTION! Keep visitors and children away from any machine. DO NOT permit people to be in
the immediate work area, especially when the machine is operating.
