Beginning
WEAR your safety goggles
during any assembly or
maintenance. Failure to
comply may result in
serious personal injury.
KEEP loose clothing
rolled up and out of the
way of machinery and
keep hair pulled back.
Initial Cleaning
The exposed and unpainted shaper surfaces are
coated with a waxy oil to prevent rust during
storage and shipment. DO NOT use chlorine
based solutions or solvents to remove the waxy
oil, or you will damage the painted surfaces.
Remove the waxy oil with a solvent based
degreaser before you use the shaper. Always
follow all use and safety instructions of the
product that you are using.
DO NOT use flammables
such as gas or other
petroleum-based solvents
to clean your machine.
These products have low
flash points and present
the risk of explosion and
severe personal injury!
DO NOT smoke while using
cleaning solvents. Smoking
may cause explosion or
risk of fire when exposed
to these products!
ALWAYS work in a well
ventilated area when
using solvents with
fumes, and keep away
from any potential
ignition sources (pilot
lights). Most solvents
used to clean machinery
are toxic when inhaled or
ingested. Always dispose
of waste rags in a sealed
container to make sure
they do not cause fire or
environmental hazards.
UNPLUG the power cord
before you do any
assembly, adjustments,
or maintenance tasks!
Serious personal injury to
you or others may occur
if this warning is ignored!
