SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

SAFETY

NOTICE

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, 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, MAY result in minor or moderate injury.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the equipment, and/or a situation that may cause damage to the machinery.

Standard Safety Instructions

1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious

injury hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR AN NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory

illnesses.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause permanent hearing damage.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear nonslip footwear.

6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.

-6-

W1766 1⁄2 HP Power Feeder

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS RUNNING. Turn power off and allow all moving parts to come to a complete stop before leaving machine unattended.

11. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in damp, wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.

12. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.

13. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords

overheat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords for 220V machinery.

14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.

17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting

wrenches before turning machinery ON.

18. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.

SAFETY

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.

21. SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured

workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.

22. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

23. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid

conditions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

24. ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES (IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING MACHINERY.

25. BE AWARE THAT CERTAIN DUST MAY BE HAZARDOUS to the respiratory systems of people and

animals, especially fine dust. Make sure you know the hazards associated with the type of dust you will be exposed to and always wear a respirator approved for that type of dust.

Additional Safety for Power Feeders

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine.

SAFETY

1. SAFETY ACCESSORIES. Always use appropriate machine guards.

2. TOOL SPEED. Make sure all cutting tools are rotating at the operating speed before feeding the

workpiece.

3. FEEDING SPEED. DO NOT overload the cutting tool by feeding too quickly. The cutting tool will perform better and be safer working at the rate for which it was designed.

4. HAND SAFETY. Keep hands away from rotating parts on the feeder and the cutting tool. Do not allow hands or clothing to be pinched between the rollers and workpiece.

5. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. DO NOT feed long workpieces without providing adequate support at the outfeed end of the table.

Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution 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.

6. STOPPING FEEDER. Always stop the feeder before stopping the cutting tool.

7. ADJUSTMENTS. Disconnect the feeder from its power source before cleaning, repairing, or making adjustments.

8. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the

intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact Tech Support at (360) 734-3482.

9. MACHINE MANUAL. This manual only covers the power feeder. It is not a replacement for the manual that came with the machine on which the power feeder is mounted. Make sure to read that manual also for correct operation instructions and safety precautions.
