Avoid accidental starting. Place protective cover around
the switch to help prevent accidental starting of the
Versa-Mil. Ensure switch is off before connecting the
unit to a power supply.
Outdoor use of extension cords. When using the Versa-
Mil outdoors, use only extension cords designed and
marked for outdoor use.
Reversing switch. Ensure that the reversing switch is in
the correct position for proper cutter rotation. Failure to
do this could result in damage or injury by having a
cutter or arbor dislodged from the basic unit.
Pulley guard. The pulley guard must be in place before
operating the Versa-Mil. This prevents fingers or
clothing from getting caught between the belt and
pulleys.
Handle cutters with care. Handle all cutters with a cloth
to prevent accidental cutting of fingers or hands.
Grinding wheels. Use grinding wheels with the safe
speed at least as high as the no-load RPM rating of the
Versa-Mil grinding attachment.
