around this unit. Some agents may combust causing serious injury.

 If an extension cord is used, make sure that the total ampere ratings of the

products plugged into the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord
ampere rating, and that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet
does not exceed 15 amps.

performance, excess noise, paper jams and possible machine failure.
Run the machine in reverse after every 15-30 minutes of continuous use while
applying a thin strip of oil to the cutting head.

-Squeeze the lubricant across the full width of the cutters.
