Wilton’s machinery is among the best in design and
safety. However, any machine used improperly can
be rendered inefficient and unsafe. It is absolutely

properly trained in how to use them correctly. They
should read and understand the Operating Instruc-
tions and Parts Manual as well as all labels affixed
to the machine. Failure in following all of these
warnings can cause serious injuries.
Machinery general safety warnings
1. Always wear protective eye wear when operat-
ing machinery. Eye wear shall be impact resis-
tant, protective safety glasses with side shields
which comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
Use of eye wear which does not comply with
ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in severe
injury from breakage of eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving parts.
Rubber soled footwear is recommended for best
footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain proper
working position can cause you to fall into the
machine or cause your clothing to get caught —
pulling you into the machine.
4. Keep guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with guards
removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do not
use stationary machine tools in wet or damp
locations. Keep work areas clean and well lit.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure the start
switch is “OFF” before plugging in the machine.
7. Never leave the machine running while unat-
tended. Machine shall be shut off whenever it is
not in operation.
8. Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Whenever changing accessories or general
maintenance is done on the machine, electrical
power to the machine must be disconnected
before work is done.
9. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and the
changing of accessories. No attempt shall be
made to modify or have makeshift repairs done to
the machine. This not only voids the warranty but
also renders the machine unsafe.
10. Machinery must be anchored to the floor.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work,
when practical. It is safer than using your hands
and it frees both hands to operate the machine.
12. Never brush away chips with machine in opera-
tion.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning machine on.
15. Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment
to do a job it was not designed for.
16. Use only recommended accessories and follow
manufacturers instructions pertaining to them.
17. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving parts
and cutting surfaces.
18. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from
the work area. Make workshop completely safe
by using padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys.
19. Know the tool you are using — its application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
