USE PROPER APPAREL
DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may
be caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
SECURE WORK
Clamps or a vise should be used to hold work whenever practical. Keeping your hands free
to operate a power tool is safer.
DO NOT OVERREACH
Keep proper footing and balance at all times by not overreaching.
DISCONNECT TOOLS
Power tools should always be disconnected before servicing, adjusting or when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools clean and maintained for the best and safest performance. Always follow
maintenance instructions and examine the machine before use. If any abnormal vibrations
or noises occurs, turn off machine immediately and have the problem corrected before
further use.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES
Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
the power tool before it is turned on.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN
Cluttered work areas and benches invite accidents. Keep area around machine clear of
obstructions which could cause persons to fall.
DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS PLACES
DO NOT operate equipment in dangerous or hazardous environments. DO NOT use power
tools in damp or wet locations nor expose them to rain. Always keep the work area well
lighted.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories
may increase the risk of personal or by-stander injury. Unauthorized equipment
modifications will void all warranties. Manufacturer does not assume responsibility for any
accident due to equipment modifications.
ALWAYS ensure that the machine is on level ground before using.

MK-1503SS SAFETY
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
Before using a power tool, check for damaged parts. A guard or any other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine if it would operate properly and
perform its intended function. Always check moving parts for proper alignment or binding.
Check for broken parts and mountings and all other conditions that may affect the
operation of the power tool. A guard, or any damaged part, should be properly repaired or
replaced. Always check the machine for loose bolts before starting.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
A blade or cutter should always be installed so that rotation is in the direction of the
arrow imprinted on the side of the blade or cutter. It should correspond with the rotational
direction of the motor. Always feed work into a blade against the direction of rotation.
NEVER LEAVE A TOOL UNATTENDED
TURN POWER OFF - Do not leave a tool until it comes to a complete stop. ALWAYS
turn a power tool OFF when leaving the work area, or, when a cut is finished.
NEVER disconnect any "emergency or safety devices". These devices are intended for
operator safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm, or
even death! Disconnection of any of these devices will void all warranties. Unauthorized
equipment modifications will void all warranties. Manufacturer does not assume
responsibility for any accident due to equipment modifications.
NEVER use this machine with any cutter designed for woodworking.
NEVER operate this equipment when not feeling well due to fatigue, illness or taking medicine.
NEVER operate this equipment under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
On belt driven equipment, overtensioning of belts will result in premature crank and/or bearing
failure.
Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and safety decals when they become
difcult to read.
ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being used. Equipment should be stored in
a clean, dry location out of the reach of children
DO NOT lend or rent this equipment without including the Owner's Manual and the Engine/
Motor Manufacturer's Manual.
Check the chemical properties of the material to be cut/grinded and follow all EPA/OSHA
Regulations.

SILICA DUST WARNING
Grinding/cutting/drilling of masonry, concrete, metal and other materials with silica in their composition
may give off dust or mists containing crystalline silica. Silica is a basic component of sand, quartz,
brick clay, granite and numerous other minerals and rocks. Repeated and/or substantial inhalation of
airborne crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory diseases, including silicosis. In addition, California and some other authorities have listed respirable crystalline silica as a substance
known to cause cancer. When cutting such materials, always follow respiratory precautions.
Use appropriate NIOSH-approved respiratory protection where dust hazard may occur. Paper masks
or surgical masks without a NIOSH approval number are not recommended because they do little to
protect the worker. For more information about respirator programs, including what respirators have
received NIOSH approval as safe and effective, please visit the NIOSH website at:
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/respirators
Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 C.F.R.§1910.134).
Visit http://www.osha.gov for more information.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 MESSAGE
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain 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
For further information, consult the following sources:
http://www.osha.gov/dsg/topics/silicacrystalline/index.html
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/96-112/
http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/law/P65law72003.html
http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/sub4.html
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 dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles. Where
use of a dust extraction device is possible, it should be used. To achieve a high level of dust collection, use an industrial HEPA vacuum cleaner. Observe OSHA 29 CFR part 1926.57 and 1926.103.
WARNING
Sawing, grinding and drilling generate dust. Excessive airborne particles may cause irritation to eyes,
skin and respiratory tract. To avoid breathing impairment, always employ dust controls and protection
suitable to the material being sawed or drilled; See OSHA (29 CFR Part 1910.1200).

ELECTRIC MOTOR SAFETY
For maintenance care and operation of the electric motor, refer to your electric motor instruction booklet furnished with the electric motor. Protect the electric motor from dust as much as possible and keep
ventilating openings clean. Before plugging in the machine, make sure that the outlet voltage is within
the voltage marked on the machines's data plate.
CAUTION
DO NOT spray water on the electric motor. DO NOT touch the plug with wet hands. To reduce
the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground.
DO NOT operate electric motor in an explosive environment.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN
DO NOT expose to rain or use in damp locations.
WARNING
If operating the equipment in damp locations is unavoidable, ALWAYS use a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter, ALWAYS wear rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.
DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the equipment or to pull the plug from
the outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. A Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for this
machine. Receptacles are available having built-in GFCI protections and may be used for this
measure of safety. When using an extension cord, GFCI should be installed closest to the power
source, followed by the extension cord and lastly, the machine.
WARNING
The water pump requires a GFCI. To reduce risk of electrical shock when operating the machine
with the pump plugged into the 3-pole receptacle on the motor, connect the machine to a GFCI
outlet. See the pump manual and informational tags enclosed separately for all pump information.
