Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY As with all
machinery there are certain hazards involved with
operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with
respect and caution will considerably lessen the
possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to
the operator may result.
Read all instructions before operation!
1.1 MACHINERY GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
 Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
 Observe work area conditions. Do not use
machines or power tools in damp or wet locations.
Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do
not use electrically powered tools in the presence of
flammable gases or liquids.
 Keep children away. Children must never be allowed
in the work area. Do not let them handle machines,
tools, or extension cords.
3

 Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be
stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up
tools and keep out of reach of children.
 Do not force tool. It will do the job better and more
safety at the rate for which it was intended. Do not use
inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the
tool capacity.
 Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force
a small tool or attachment to do the work of a large
industrial tool. Do not use a tool for a purpose for
which it was not intended.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing of jewelry
as they can be caught in moving parts. Protective,
electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear
restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
 Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO
approved impact safety goggles. Wear a full-face
shield if you are producing metal filings or wood chips.
Wear an ISO approved dust mask or respirator when
working around metal, and chemical dusts and mists.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Do not reach over or across running
machine.
 Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean
for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. The handles
must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease
at all times.
 Stay alert. Watch what you are doing; use common
4

sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tried.
 Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any
part that appears damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment and
binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting
fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper
operation. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
 Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact
with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
 Replacement parts and accessories. When
servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts will void the warranty. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved
accessories are available from the distributor.
 Do not operate tool if under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on
prescriptions to determine if your judgment of reflexes
are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt,
do not operate the tool.
 Don’t leave machine until it comes to a complete
stop.
 Never leave the machine running while unattended.
Machine shall be shut off whenever it is not in
operation.
 Make sure machine is disconnected from power
supply while making maintenance, adjustment or
repair
5

 Ground all machines. Always make sure your
machine is well connected to the earth. It may reduce
electric shock hazards.
 Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use
power machine in damp or wet locations, or expose
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted
 Stop machine before servicing and when changing
accessories.
1.2 WARNING BEFORE OPERATION
 Before start the machine, make sure the machine be
anchored to floor firmly, to avoid the machine turn on
one’s side.
 Before fix workpiece, make sure worktable horizontal.
 Before start the machine, make sure the adjusting
clamp handle locked firmly, to avoid worktable
deflection during working.
 Before running worktable, make sure the thrust ball
bearing under worktable is lubricated sufficiently.
 Do not touch the electrical switch with wet hands.
 Before power on, make sure there is no any person
nor obstacles in the dangerous area of the rotating
machine.
 Make sure workpiece be fixed firmly before rotate
worktable.
 When adjust angle of worktable, make sure workpiece
be fixed firmly by external force, to avoid injury of

 When power on, the left knob can control worktable’s
action:
0- Power off; 1-Table tilt; 2-Table horizontal rotation.
 When power off, the right knob can control worktable
rotating forward or reversal.
0- Power off; CW- Rotation forward;
CCW- Rotation reversal.
 The lower knob can control speed when table rotating
smooth and steady.
