Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equip­ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.

Model G0836 (Mfd. Since 09/17)

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Mill/Drills

You can be seriously injured or killed by getting clothing, jewelry, or long hair entangled with
rotating cutter/spindle. You can be severely cut or have fingers amputated from contact with
rotating cutters. You can be blinded or struck by broken cutting tools, metal chips, workpieces,
or adjustment tools thrown from the rotating spindle with great force. To reduce your risk of
serious injury when operating this machine, completely heed and understand the following:

UNDERSTAND ALL CONTROLS. Make sure

you understand the function and proper use of all
controls before starting. This will help you avoid
making mistakes that result in serious injury.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. DO NOT wear
loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back
long hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.
Always allow spindle to stop on its own. DO NOT
stop spindle using your hand or any other object.

WEAR FACE SHIELD. Always wear a face shield
in addition to safety glasses. This provides more
complete protection for your face than safety
glasses alone.

USE CORRECT SPINDLE SPEED. Follow rec­ommended speeds and feeds for each size and
type of cutting tool. This helps avoid tool breakage
during operation and ensures best cutting results.

INSPECT CUTTING TOOL. Inspect cutting tools
for sharpness, chips, or cracks before each use.
Replace dull, chipped, or cracked cutting tools
immediately.

PROPERLY SECURE CUTTER. Firmly secure
cutting tool or drill bit so it does not fly out of spin­dle during operation.

POWER DISRUPTION. In the event of a local
power outage during operation, turn spindle
switch OFF to avoid a possible sudden startup
once power is restored.

CLEAN MACHINE SAFELY. Metal chips or shav­ings can be razor sharp. DO NOT clear chips
by hand or compressed air that can force chips
farther into machine—use a brush or vacuum
instead. Never clear chips while spindle is turning.

SECURE WORKPIECE TO TABLE. Clamp work­piece to table or secure in a vise mounted to table,
so workpiece cannot unexpectedly shift or spin
during operation. NEVER hold workpiece by hand
during operation.

PROPERLY MAINTAIN MACHINE. Keep
machine in proper working condition to help
ensure that it functions safely and all guards and
other components work as intended. Perform rou­tine inspections and all necessary maintenance.
Never operate machine with damaged or worn
parts that can break or result in unexpected move­ment during operation.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. To reduce risk of
electrocution or injury from unexpected startup,
make sure mill/drill is turned OFF, disconnected
from power, and all moving parts have come to
a complete stop before changing cutting tools or
starting any inspection, adjustment, or mainte­nance procedure.

REMOVE CHUCK KEY & SPINDLE TOOLS.
Always remove chuck key, drawbar wrench, and
other tools used on the spindle immediately after
use. This will prevent them from being thrown by
the spindle upon startup.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre­quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are over­looked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest work­piece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the main­tenance and service described in this manual.

See below for required space allocation.
