This manual provides critical safety instructions on the proper setup,
operation, maintenance, and service of this machine/tool. Save this
document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.

Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual
may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,
electrocution, or death.

The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre­hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or
misuse.

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.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can

be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live

machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow an
electrician or qualified service personnel to
do electrical installation or repair work, and
always disconnect power before accessing or
exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect

machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing
machine. This eliminates the risk of injury
from unintended startup or contact with live
electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved

safety glasses or a face shield when operating
or observing machinery to reduce the risk of
eye injury or blindness from flying particles.
Everyday eyeglasses are not approved safety
glasses.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It

will do the job safer and better at the rate for

loss of control. Before starting, verify machine

malfunction, leading to serious personal injury

from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh

clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss
of workpiece control.

DUST. Dust created while using

machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.

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

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

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase 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

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect

machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.

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, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away

moving parts—which may include being pulled into the cutting tool on attached machinery;
death, blindness, broken bones, or bruises from being struck by an ejected workpiece
(kickback). To minimize your risk of these hazards, always heed the following information:

Follow all warnings and

SAFETY

safety information for the attached machine
doing the cutting work.

. Keep hands away from rotating
parts on power feeder and spinning blade
or cutter of associated machine. Turn power
feeder and associated machine OFF and only
use a brush or compressed air to remove
sawdust.

Install guards, fences, and
hold-downs before starting attached machine
or power feeder. Repair or replace guards
promptly if they become damaged.

Occurs when workpiece is ejected
from machine with great force, striking
operator or bystanders. Commonly caused by
improper machine or power feeder setup.

Ensure that power feeder
is set up correctly and firmly secured before
feeding workpiece. An improperly adjusted
power feeder could increase the risk of
kickback, because it will continue feeding
when stock is not properly positioned for the

FEATHERBOARD. When cutting long or large

stock that is difficult to feed properly, use
a featherboard before powerfeeder (on the
infeed side) to maintain even pressure and
control of workpiece against fence, and help
reduce risk of kickback.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. Verify blade or

cutter of associated machine is at full speed
before feeding stock with power feeder.
Do not feed workpiece too quickly. Verify
power feeder wheels are slightly lower than

cutting tool.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Support workpiece

auxiliary stands or support tables for long or
wide stock.

ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure power

feeder is turned OFF, disconnected from
power, and all moving parts are completely
stopped before doing adjustments or
maintenance.

READ and understand this
entire manual before using
this machine. Serious per­sonal injury may occur
if safety and operational
information is not under­stood and followed. DO
NOT risk your safety by
not reading!

tion and respect. Always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual work­ing conditions. No list of safety guidelines
can be complete—every shop environment
is different. Failure to follow guidelines
could result in serious personal injury,
damage to equipment or poor work results.
