SAFETY FIRST!
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL WARNINGS BEFORE OPERATING THIS PRODUCT.
WARNING: Installation of your TigerStop Product must be done by a person trained in the safe design and installation of
automation products, and in the safe operation of power equipment. Ensure that such installation meets all legally required
safety requirements and guidelines, and that proper guarding and safety devices are provided on all sides of the equipment to
preclude unintended access during operation. Consult with and follow the recommendations of a qualified safety engineer.
WARNING: TigerStop Products are components intended for use in conjunction with potentially dangerous machinery. The use
of TigerStop Products does not make other machinery safe. TigerStop Products are not intended to substitute, in any manner,
for safe operating practices in general, or for safety features present in other machines designed to make those machines as
safe as possible. TIGERSTOP PRODUCTS, IF USED OR INSTALLED IMPROPERLY, MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY PERSONS TRAINED IN THEIR SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES. Illustrations
of TigerStop Products in use do not show, and are not intended to show, all safety features and practices necessary for their
safe operation.
WARNING: TigerStop Products must be installed in accordance with all local, state, and federal regulations. Only personnel
properly trained in the safe design and installation of automation machinery and related power equipment should install
TigerStop Products onto other equipment, to ensure a safe and proper work station. TigerStop Products should not be operated
without proper training, both in the operation of TigerStop Products, and in the operation of related equipment.
IMPORTANT CAUTION:
The motor box (compartment) contains DC voltage with potentially FATAL amperage. NEVER attempt any unauthorized actions
inside the motor box.
WARNING: Using a TigerStop interconnect does not relieve you of the responsibility for making sure that your saw or other
tool has all the necessary safety equipment in place. All installations must meet all legally required safety requirements and
guidelines. Installation and training should be done following the recommendations of a qualified safety engineer.
DANGER: This machine can start, move and stop automatically. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of moving parts while
operating. Moving parts can crush and cut. When used with a saw or other cutting equipment, bodily injury and death may result
