5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the tool in unexpected

situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro-

tection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection must be used for appro-

priate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

1. Use clamp or other practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against your body is

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your

application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or

OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4. Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the tool. Such preven-

tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools

sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are

easier to control.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-

tion that may affect the tool's operation. If dam-

aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are recommended by

the manufacturer for your model. Accessories

that may be suitable for one tool may become haz-

ardous when used on another tool.

9. Inspect tool and extension cords periodically

and replace if damaged. Damaged cords increase

the risk of electrical shock.

10. Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and

grease. Allows for better control of the tool.

11. Store tools in dry place. Such measures reduce

the risk of electrical shock.

Service

1. Tool service must be performed only by quali-

fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified repair personnel could

result in injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the

Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of unau-

thorized parts or failure to follow maintenance

instructions may create a risk of electrical shock

or injury.

3. Follow instructions for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories. Accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools.

Specific Safety Information

The Operator’s Manual contains specific safety infor-

mation and instructions for your protection against

serious injuries including:

• Loss of fingers, hands, arms or other body parts if

clothing or gloves get caught in moving parts;

• Electrical shock or burns from contact with wires,

motor or other power drive parts;

• Impact injuries, including broken bones if machine

tips over or workpiece falls;

• Eye injuries, including being blinded by the work-

piece or workpiece chips.

Read and follow safety labels on machine!

Know the location and functions

of all controls before using this tool.

Foot Switch Safety

The foot switch is for your safety. It lets you SHUT

OFF the motor by removing your foot. If clothing

should become caught in the machine, it will con-

tinue to wind up, pulling you into the machine.

Because the machine has high torque, the cloth-

ing itself can bind around your arm or other body

parts with enough force to crush or break bones.
