OPERATION MANUAL
DO NOT use this machine unless you have read this manual or have been instructed in the use
of this machine in its safe use and operation
This manual provides safety instructions on the proper setup, operation, maintenance, and
service of this machine. Save this manual, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.
Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual may result in re or
serious personal injury—including amputation, electrocution, or death.
The owner of this machine is solely responsible for its safe use. This responsibility includes, but
is not limited to proper installation in a safe environment, personnel training and authorization
to use, proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, of the
application of the safety devices, integrity, and the use of personal protective equipment.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property damage from negligence,
improper training, machine modications or misuse.
WARNING
2.1 GENERAL WOODWORKING MACHINE SAFE PRACTICES
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. Some examples of these chemicals are:
q Lead from lead-based paints.
qCrystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
qArsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
a dust collection system along with an air ltration system whenever possible. Always
use properly tting approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust expo-
sure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles and protective footwear.
Wear dust masks when required.
Wear hearing protection that is suitable for the level and frequency of the noise you are
exposed to in the woodworking area. If you have trouble hearing someone speak from
one metre away, the noise level from the machine may be hazardous.
Use gloves to protect hands from splinters when handling wood but do not wear them near
rotating blades and other machinery parts where the gloves can catch.
2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

OPERATION MANUAL
Make sure the guard that is in position is in good working condition, and guards the
machine adequately before operating any equipment or machine. Check and adjust all other
safety devices.
Make sure the equipment is properly grounded before use.
Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning on
the power.
Inspect stock for nails or other materials before cutting, planning, routing or carrying out
similar activities.
Make sure that all machines have start and stop buttons within easy and convenient reach
of an operator. Start buttons should be protected so that accidental contact will not start
machine.
Ensure that all cutting tools and blades are clean, sharp, and in good working order so that
they will cut freely, not forced.
Turn the power o and unplug the power cord (or lock out the power source) before
inspecting, changing, cleaning, adjusting or repairing a blade or a machine.
Use a “push stick” to push material into the cutting area. Jigs are also useful in keeping hands
safe during cutting procedures. Keep hands out of the line of the cutting blade.
Always use a push stick for pieces less than 30 cm (1 ft) in length, or for the last 30 cm of a
longer cut, and to remove the cut piece.
Clamp down and secure all work pieces when drilling or milling.
Use good lighting so that the work piece, cutting blades, and machine controls can be seen
clearly. Position or shade lighting sources so that they do not shine in the operator’s eyes or
cause any glare and reections.
Ensure that the oor space around the equipment is sucient to enable you to machine
the size of work piece being processed safely without bumping into other workers or
equipment.
Woodworking machines should be tted with ecient and well-maintained local exhaust
ventilation systems to remove sawdust or chips that are produced.
Electric power cords should be above head level or in the oor in such a way that they are
not tripping hazards.
Keep work area free of clutter, clean, well swept, and well lit. Spills should be cleaned up
immediately. Floor areas should be level and non-slip. Good housekeeping practices and
workplace design will reduce the number of injuries and accidents from slips, trips, and falls.
Do not wear loose clothing, work gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry that can
become entangled with moving parts. Conne long hair.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand
to move into the cutting tool or blade.
Do not remove sawdust or cuttings from the cutting head by hand while a machine is
running. Use a stick or brush when the machine has stopped moving.
Do not use compressed air to remove sawdust, turnings, etc. from machines or clothing.
Do not leave machines running unattended. Do not leave a machine until the power is
turned o and the machine comes to a complete stop.

Other Hazards
• Slips and falls from and around machinery during maintenance
• Unstable equipment that is not secured against falling over
• Safe access to/from machines (access, egress)
• Fire or explosion
• Pressure injection injuries from the release of uids and gases under high pressure
• Electrical Hazards, such as electrocution from faulty or ungrounded electrical
components
• Environment in which the machine is used (in a machine shop, or in a work site)
MACHINES ARE SAFEGUARDED TO PROTECT THE OPERATOR FROM
INJURY OR DEATH WITH THE PLACEMENT OF GUARDS. MACHINES MUST NOT BE OPERATED
WITH THE GUARDS REMOVED OR DAMAGED.
Do not try to free a stalled blade before turning the power o.
