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.

INTRODUCTION

Machine Description

The Model T27577 Underpinner is a foot-oper­ated device for assembling picture frames using
varying V-nail lengths to secure each corner.
The correct V-nail length used depends on V-nail
placement in workpiece (see V-Nail Placement
on Page 12) and workpiece thickness. V-nails
work best when used in combination with adhe­sive to secure each corner.

WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

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.

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

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
