General Safety Rules For Power Tools

ACAUTION ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. The operation

of any power tool can result in foreign objects being

thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe injury.

Before beginning tool operation, always wear safety

goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full-

face shield when needed. A Wide Vision Safety Mask is

recommended for use over eyeglasses or standard

safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye

protection that is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

ACAUTION

ALWAYS WEAR EAR PROTECTION. Power tools

can generate high levels of noise that will cause

permanent hearing loss. Before beginning tool

operation, always don hearing protection to minimize

the risk of damaging hearing.

ACAUTION

ALWAYS BE ALERT. Operating electrically powered

machinery poses a risk of serious physical injury to

hands and fingers. Always operate machinery with

ALL guards in place and in good working order. DO

NOT attempt to defeat safety guards!

•KNOW THE POWER TOOL. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the

machine's applications and limitations as well as any specific potential hazards related

to this tool.

•MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and

safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

•USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a

job for which it was not designed. Use it only the way it was intended.

•DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas and workbenches invite

accidents. Keep floors clean and free of accumulated dust. DO NOT leave tools or

pieces of wood on top of the machine or on support extensions while it is in operation.

•KEEP WORK AREA WELL LIGHTED. Good lighting promotes safety and good

output.

•DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools near

gasoline or other flammable liquids or explosive fumes. Do not use in damp or wet

conditions.

•WEAR A DUST MASK to keep from inhaling fine particles. Use wood dust collection

systems whenever possible.

Sears, Roebuck and Co. CompuCarve TM System (Rev 1.6) 09/27/06 Page4

•NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power off and do not

leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.

• USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure the extension cord is in good

condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current the product will draw

(see under Electrical Connections the proper gauges and lengths to use.)

• DISCONNECT TOOL from the outlet when not in use or before servicing.

• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,

or other jewelry near a running machine. They can get caught and draw the user into

moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Non-slip footwear is

recommended.

• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by preventing body contact with grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, or appliances while using the tool.

• GROUND ALL TOOLS. (See Electrical Connections)

• DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORD. Never yank the cord to disconnect it from

receptacle. Keep the cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Inspect power cords

regularly and repair or replace if damaged.

• PROTECT VISITORS AND CHILDREN. All visitors should wear safety glasses,

hearing protection, and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors

contact the tool or extension cord while it is operating.

• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches, and remove

switch keys

• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is offwhen plugging in the tool.

• DO NOT OPERATE ANY POWER TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION AFFECTING ALERTNESS.

• STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Stay alert and use common sense. Do

not operate the tool when tired. Do not rush.

Specific Safety Rules & Precautions For The CompuCarve.

•READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL CAREFULLY

WARNING: Look for this symbol throughout this manual. It

points out important safety precautions. It means attention --

Personal safety is involved!

•WHILE USING MACHINE, make sure that the power to the machine is kept constant.

Using other high power draw machines on the same power leg may cause the

machine to lose position and damage the workpiece.

•BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure that all mechanical adjustments and settings are

secure. Until thoroughly familiar with the operation, it is a good idea to create a checklist to

help ensure all are secure.

•REMOVE WRENCHES AND ADJUSTING KEYS. Get in the habit of checking - before

turning on the tool - that any hex keys or adjusting wrenches are removed from tool.

• CHECK FOR DAMAGE. Before using the tool, routinely check for any damaged parts,

including guards. Look for anything that could interfere with proper operation and

performance, such as any binding or misalignment of moving parts or any sign of

instability in the carving system. A damaged part must be properly repaired or replaced by

a qualified service technician at a repair center to avoid risk of personal injury.

• BE SURE THE BIT CLEARS THE WORKPIECE. Never start the system with the bit

touching the work piece.

• DO NOT HOLD OR STRESS THE FLEX SHAFT DURING OPERATION. Placing stress

on the shaft during operation will accelerate wear and cause premature failure.

• NEVER ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT SAFTY DEVICES OR INTERLOCKS. Guards and other

safety devices protect the user from injury; do not try to bypass or remove them.

• KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. When the machine is running, never

reach underneath the workpiece or into the blade-cutting path for any reason.

Sears, Roebuck and Co. CompuCarve TM System (Rev 1.6) 09/27/06 Page 5

•DO NOT PLACE HANDS ON THE GRIT SURFACE DRIVE BELTS DURING

OPERATION. Belts in motion could drag a hand into the machine and cause injury.

•AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could

cause hands to move into the cutting area.

• NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE MUFFLER BAG IN PLACE. The bag

captures dust and debris from machining operations.

• NEVER LOOK INTO THE VACUUM OUTLET DURING MACHINE OPERATION.

Machining debris could be thrown out at high speed and cause eye injury.

• TURN OFF THE SYSTEM IF A STRANGE NOISE OR HEAVY VIBRATION OCCURS.

Immediately turn off the system. Then locate and correct the source of the problem before

restarting.

• USE A SUPPORT FOR LONG WORKPIECES. To minimize the risk of over stressing the

machine, use a sturdy "outrigger" support when carving long workpieces more than 36

inches in length. Never substitute a person for a proper support.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Using improper accessories may risk injury.

Consult the accessories section for recommended accessories.

• USE ONLY APPROVED CUTTING BITS to ensure quality and to avoid equipment

damage or injury.

• KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp bits minimize workpiece burning, poor cut

quality, and stress to the system. Keep bits free of rust, grease, and pitch.

• USE GLOVES TO HANDLE HOT CUTTING BITS. Recently used cutting bits are hot,

and all bits have sharp edges; gloves will help prevent cuts and burns.

• USE ONLY ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repairs using other than original

replacement parts may create a hazard as well as damage to the machine. To ensure

proper repair using original replacement parts, a qualified service technician at a Sears

service center should make all repairs, whether electrical or mechanical.

• DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF THE POWER SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT ON AND OFF.

Have defective switches replaced by a Sears service center.

• CUT ONLY WOOD, PLASTIC OR WOOD-LIKE MATERIALS. Do not cut metal.

• NEVER cut more than one piece at a time.

• DO NOT STACK more than one workpiece in the CompuCarve at a time.

• BE SURE THE WORKPIECE PATH IS FREE OF NAILS. Inspect for, and remove all

nails, staples, and protruding features from the lumber before cutting.

• KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean

cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any

solvents to clean the system.

• DO NOT STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury can occur if tool is tipped or if the cutting tool

is unintentionally contacted.

WARNING: Operation of this tool should not be attempted until all

instructions, safety rules, etc. contained in this manual have been read thoroughly and

understood completely. Failure to do so can result in accidents involving fire, electric

shock, or serious personal injury. Save the operator's manual and review it frequently for

continuing safe operation and for instructing others who may use this tool.

WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, cutting, and drilling

contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, allergic reactions, or

reproductive damage. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Arsenic, copper, and chromium from chemically treated lumber

• Wood resin

• Plastic solvents

• Silica Dust

Sears, Roebuck and Co. CompuCarve TM System (Rev 1.6) 09/27/06 Page 6

To reduce exposure to these chemicals:

•Work in a well ventilated area

• Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles

• Keep the machine and work area clean

IMPORTANT NOTE: Servicing requires much care and specialized

knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.

For service, return the machine to the nearest repair center in the original packaging.

POWER SUPPLY

The CompuCarve woodworking machine is controlled by precision electronics, tt should

be connected only to a power supply that is 120 volts nominal, 60 Hz, AC (normal

household outlet). It should not be connected to a 240-volt power supply. This tool will

not operate on direct current (DC). If the machine does not operate when plugged into

an outlet, check to see that the fuse or circuit breaker for the outlet is not open and that

the outlet has power available.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at an extended distance from the power source, use an

extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized

extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing

potential damage to the machine. Use the chart provided below to determine the

minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only jacketed cords listed by

Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

Length of Extension Cord vs. Wire Size (American Wire Gage - AWG)

Up to 10 feet - 18 AWG minimum

10 to 50 feet - 14 AWG minimum

Over 50 feet - not recommended

When working with the tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside

use (This is indicated by the letters WA on the power cord's outer jacket). Before using

an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

Sears, Roebuck and Co. CompuCarve TM System (Rev 1.6) 09/27/06 Page 7

Bevel Cut

A cut made across a workpiece that results in an angle other than 90° to

the table surface.

Cross Cut

A cutting operation across the grain or width of the workpiece.

Head Screw

The threaded shaft on each side of the machine by which the head is

raised and lowered when activated by the head crank.

Joint or Jointing

A trim cut parallel to the grain of the wood on the edges of a board to

create 90-degree angle with the top and bottom surface. A joint will create

a smooth and, most important, straight edge. Often used in preparation

for a glue joint to attach the board to another piece of wood.

LCD

Liquid Crystal Display - The two-line text display found above the keypad.

Miter Cut

A vertical cut made at any angle other than 0° across the workpiece.

Molding

A shaping cut that gives a varied profile to the workpiece.

Pitch

A sticky, sap-based substance found in some woods.

Rip Cut

A cut made parallel to the grain or length of the workpiece.

Rout

To hollow, scoop or carve out.

Snipe

An unwanted depression formed near the end of a workpiece caused by

the uneven transition of the workpiece from one support surface to

another. Snipe can be minimized by ensuring that auxiliary outfeed

supports are even with machine support surfaces. The free end of the

workpiece should also be well supported so that its weight does not place

lifting pressure at the end of the workpiece being carved.

Squaring Cut

A smoothing trim cut across the grain of the wood on the end of a board

to create 90-degree angles with the top, bottom, and side edges.

Vector Cut

A cutting operation that is composed of a group of strokes from one point

to another. These can be lines, circles, splines or any other number of

geometric elements.

Workpiece

The item on which the cutting operation is being performed. The surfaces

of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends, and edges.
