1.2 Safety Instructions

NOTE: ONLY safety instructions regarding personal injury are listed in this section. Cau-

tion statements regarding only equipment damage appear where applicable throughout

the manual.

WARNING! Clean sawdust from all guards, vents, con-

trol boxes, or any area where sawdust may gather after

every shift. Failure to do so may result in fire, causing

death or serious injury.

OBSERVE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT! Read the entire Owner's Manual before operating

the Edger. Take notice of all safety warnings throughout this man-

ual and those posted on the machine. Keep this manual with this

machine at all times, regardless of ownership.

Also read any additional manufacturer’s manuals and observe any

applicable safety instructions including dangers, warnings, and

cautions.

Only persons who have read and understood the entire operator's

manual should operate the Edger. The Edger is not intended for

use by or around children.

IMPORTANT! It is always the

owner's responsibility to comply

with all applicable federal, state

and local laws, rules and regula-

tions regarding the ownership,

operation and towing of your

Wood-Mizer Edger. All

Wood-Mizer owners are encour-

aged to become thoroughly

familiar with these applicable

laws and comply with them fully while using or towing the Edger.

the Edger. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

Servicing The Edger

Safety Instructions

1-3 EGdoc072519 Servicing The Edger

WARNING! Always wear eye, ear, respiration,

and foot protection when operating or servicing

the Edger.

DISPOSE OF SAWING BY-PRODUCTS PROPERLY

WARNING! Maintain a clean and clear path for all necessary

movement around the Edger and lumber stacking areas. Failure to

do so will result in serious injury.

IMPORTANT! Always properly dispose of all sawing by-products,

including sawdust and other debris, coolant, oil, fuel, oil filters and

fuel filters.

USE CAUTION WHEN WORKING WITH BATTERIES

DANGER! Batteries expel explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames,

burning cigarettes, or other ignition sources away at all times.

Always wear safety goggles and a face shield when working near

batteries. Failure to do so will cause serious injury.

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-

tain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands

after handling.

WARNING! Charge the battery in a well ventilated area. Do not

attempt to charge a frozen battery.

CAUTION! Do not overcharge the battery. Overcharging may

reduce the overall service life of the battery.

CAUTION! Be sure the battery is fully charged before transporting

the edger. If the battery is not fully charged, excessive vibration

could reduce the overall service life of the battery.

HANDLE FUEL/LUBRICANTS SAFELY

DANGER! Due to the flammable nature of fuel and oil, never

smoke, weld, grind or allow sparks near your engine or storage

tanks, especially during times of fueling.

DANGER! Never allow fuel to spill on a hot engine during fueling

operations or otherwise. The hot temperature of your engine could

induce a fire or explosion.

WARNING! Store gasoline away from saw-

dust and other flammable materials. Failure

to do so may result in serious injury.

CHECK EDGER BEFORE OPERATION OR TOW-

ING

DANGER! Make sure all guards

and covers are in place and

secured before operating or tow-

ing the Edger. Failure to do so

may result in serious injury.

WARNING! Also make sure

your hitch has adequate safety

chain hookups. Safety chains

should be hooked to bumper of vehicle so that each chain would

pull the trailer equally in the event the hitch became disengaged.

Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury and/or severe

machine damage

WARNING! Always shut off the engine to stop the blade whenever

the Edger is not in use. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

WARNING! Do not for any reason adjust the engine drive belts

with the engine running. Doing so may result in serious injury.

WARNING! Always ensure that there is a sharp point on the

anti-kickback fingers before each use of the Edger.

Be sure anti-kickback fingers are free from obstruction and are in a

downward position with lever released. Failure to do so may result

in serious injury.

KEEP PERSONS AWAY

DANGER! Keep all persons out of the path of moving equipment

and boards when operating the Edger. Failure to do so will result in

serious injury.

engine. Allow the engine to cool sufficiently before beginning any

service function.

DANGER! Moving Parts Can Crush and Cut. Keep hands clear.

Make sure all guards and covers are in place and secured before

operating or towing. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.

take proper protective measures

against rotating shafts, pulleys, fans,

etc. Always stay a safe distance from

rotating members and make sure that

loose clothing or long hair does not

engage rotating members resulting in

possible injury.
