3.0 Safety Warnings
1. Read and understand entire owner’s manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the machine and in this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. This box and pan brake is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If you are not fam iliar wit h the proper and sa fe operation of a brake, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this machine for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Walter Meier (Manufacturing), Inc., disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from that use.
6. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the brake.
7. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this machine. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
8. Before operating this brake, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the elbows. Do not wear loose clothing, and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are recommended.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead based paint.
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure 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 face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
11. R emove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before using.

13. Keep hands and fingers clear of area in front and rear of brake.
14. This box and pan brake should be sec ured to the floor to prevent tipping.

17. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
18. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
