Do not operate electric tools near flammable liquids 5.
or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors and
switches in these tools may spark and ignite fumes.
Maintain all tools and machines in peak condition. 6.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and
machines can further damage the tool or machine and/or
cause injury.
Check for damaged parts. 7. Before using the machine,
check for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or any other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced with SCTW or factory
authorized replacement parts. Damaged parts can cause
further damage to the machine and/or injury.
Keep the work area clean. 8. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
Keep children and visitors away. 9. Your shop is a
potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors
can be injured.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. 10. Make sure
that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in
the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the
switch to the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can
cause injury. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when

be thrown at high speed, causing injury.
Use the right machine. 13. Don’t force a machine or an
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
Use recommended accessories. 14. The use of accessories
and attachments not recommended by SCTW may cause
damage to the machine or injury to the user.
Use the proper extension cord. 15. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power
and overheating. See the Extension Cord Chart for the
correct size depending on the cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Secure the workpiece. 16. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a workpiece
can cause injury.
Feed the workpiece against the direction of the 17.
rotation of the blade, cutter, or abrasive surface.
Feeding it from the other direction will cause the
workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
