tool’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards peculiar to it.

2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

Wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. These safety glasses must conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. NOTE: Approved glasses have Z87 printed or stamped on them.

4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form

habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it “on”.

benches invite accidents.

6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t

use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well-lighted.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children

and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF – with padlocks,

master switches, or by removing starter keys.

9. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

10. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do

a job for which it was not designed.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves,

neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools

sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when

changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of

In the event of a power failure, move

switch to the “OFF” position.

18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if

the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the

tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function – check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter

against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

22.

STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL. DO NOT USE TOOL WHILE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

23. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted, connected or reconnected.
