5. Entanglement:
 
Loose clothing, gloves, 
neckties, jewelry or long hair may 
get caught in moving parts, causing 
entanglement, amputation, crushing, 
or strangulation. Reduce this risk by 
removing/securing these items so they 
cannot contact moving parts.
6. Mental 
Alertness: 
Operating this item 
with reduced mental alertness increases 
the risk of accidental injury. Do not let a 
temporary influence or distraction lead to a 
permanent disability! Never operate when 
under the influence of drugs/alcohol, when 
tired, or otherwise distracted.
7.   Safe Environment:
 
Operating electrically 
powered equipment in a wet environment 
may result in electrocution; operating near 
highly flammable materials may result in a 
fire or explosion. Only operate this item in 
a dry location that is free from flammable 
materials.
8. Electrical 
Connection: 
With electically 
powered equipment, improper connections 
to the power source may result in 
electrocution or fire. Always adhere to all 
electrical requirements and applicable 
codes when connecting to the power source. 
Have all work inspected by a qualified 
electrician to minimize risk.
9. Disconnect 
Power: 
Adjusting or servicing 
electrically powered equipment while it 
is connected to the power source greatly 
increases the risk of injury from accidental 
startup. Always disconnect power 
BEFORE any service or adjustments, 
including changing blades or other tooling.
10. Secure Workpiece/Tooling:
 
Loose 
workpieces, cutting tools, or rotating 
spindles can become dangerous projectiles 
if not secured or if they hit another object 
during operation. Reduce the risk of this 
hazard by verifying that all fastening 
devices are properly secured and items 
attached to spindles have enough clearance 
to safely rotate.
11.  Chuck Keys or Adjusting Tools:
 
Tools used 
to adjust spindles, chucks, or any moving/
rotating parts will become dangerous 
projectiles if left in place when the machine 
is started. Reduce this risk by developing 
the habit of always removing these tools 
immediately after using them.
12.  Work Area:
 
Clutter and dark shadows 
increase the risks of accidental injury. 
Only operate this item in a clean, non-
glaring, and well-lighted work area.
13.  Properly Functioning Equipment:
 
Poorly 
maintained, damaged, or malfunctioning 
equipment has higher risks of causing 
serious personal injury compared to 
those that are properly maintained.  
To reduce this risk, always maintain 
this item to the highest standards and 
promptly repair/service a damaged or 
malfunctioning component. Always follow 
the maintenance instructions included in 
this documentation.
14. Unattended Operation:
 
Electrically 
powered equipment that is left unattended 
while running cannot be controlled and is 
dangerous to bystanders. Always turn the 
power OFF before walking away.
15. Health Hazards: 
Certain cutting fluids 
and lubricants, or dust/smoke created 
when cutting, may contain chemicals 
known to the State of California to cause 
cancer, respiratory problems, birth defects, 
or other reproductive harm. Minimize 
exposure to these chemicals by wearing 
approved personal protective equipment 
and operating in a well ventilated area.
16. Difficult Operations:
 
Attempting 
difficult operations with which you are 
unfamiliar increases the risk of injury. 
If you experience difficulties performing 
the intended operation, STOP! Seek an 
alternative method to accomplish the 
same task, ask a qualified expert how the 
operation should be performed, or contact 
our Technical Support for assistance.
