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.

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.

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 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 cut.

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!

Model W1768/W1769 (For Machines Mfg. Since 5/07)

This machine must be connected to the correct size and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage may occur. Read through this section to determine if an adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install one before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the fullload current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.
