IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works.

SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, read and understand this entire instruction manual.

Learn the tool’s applications, limitations, and possible hazards. These safety rules cannot address every
possible scenario you may encounter, so please use common sense and caution when using the tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. Cluttered areas invite injuries and accidents. Keep the
ground clear of tripping hazards. Do not work on floor surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.

2. Observe work area conditions. Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Never allow children or
pets near the tool.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Wear ANSI Z87.1-approved safety goggles, work gloves and closed-toe shoes during assembly and use. Wear
additional safety gear as required by local, state and federal regulations.

2. Stay alert - watch what you’re doing and use common sense when using the tool. Do not use while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication that may affect your ability to properly use the tool. A mo­ment of inattention may result in serious personal injury.

3. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

WORK STATION USE & CARE

1. For maximum stability, assemble and use the work station only on a flat, level surface.

2. Do not modify or use the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. Unauthorized modification may dam­age the tool and/or cause personal injuries.

3. Do not exceed the rated weight capacity (total - 514 lbs, table top - 220 lbs, bottom shelf - 200 lbs, each drawer

- 25 lbs, top shelf - 44 lbs). Make sure the weight is evenly distributed. Be aware of dynamic loading, as sudden
movement may briefly create excess load, causing product to fail.

4. Do not step, climb or sit on the work table.

5. Assemble and use the work station indoors only. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering the electrical system will increase the risk of electric shock.

6. Always check for damaged or worn out parts before using the tool. Check for alignment of moving parts, jam­ming, breakage, improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.

7. Maintain tools properly. Always keep tools clean and in good working order. Store the unit in a dry, secure
place out of the reach of children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

8. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of
least resistance for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock.

This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc­tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment grounding conductor to a live
terminal.

In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a licensed electri­cian check the outlet.

GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to be used according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier
cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Plug

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension
cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp/wet areas.

USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the
tool’s plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protect­ed with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the
OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running
at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.

WARNING: Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying or pulling. Keep cord away from heat,

oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To avoid accidents, make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and unplug the tool
from the electrical outlet before assembly, cleaning or performing any maintenance.

1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:

• Loose hardware,

• Misalignment or binding of moving parts,

• Damaged cord/electrical wiring,

• Cracked or broken parts, and

• Any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

2. After every use, wipe the external surfaces with a clean cloth. Do not let water enter the electrical system.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL

The tool, accessories and packaging should be sorted for recycling, instead of disposed of with household waste.
Please take them to your local recycling facility for responsible disposal and to minimize the environmental impact.
