Safety Precautions

1. Know your machine. Read Instruction Manual

carefully. Know the limitations, as well as, the

specific potential hazards peculiar to this

machine.

2. Avoid accidental starting. Make sure Foot

Switch operates freely before plugging in

Power Cord.

3. Ground Machine (Fig. 2). This machine should

be grounded while in use to protect the opera-

tor from electric shock. The machine is equip-

ped with an approved three-conductor cord and

three-prong grounding type plug to fit proper

grounding type receptacle. The green (or green

and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding

wire. Never connect green (or green and yel-

low) wire to a live terminal. If your unit is for

use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug like

that shown in Panel "A", (115v). If it is for use

on 150 to 250 volts, it has a plug like that

shown in Panel "A", (230v).

4. Remove tools from machine. Form habit of

checking to see that machine is clear of

wrenches or other tools before operating.
