GENERAL SAFETY RULES

1.

Keep your work area clean and well lit.  Cluttered work areas invite accidents.

2.

Do not operate tools and equipment in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.  
Power tools and equip-
ment create sparks which may ignite flammables.

3.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating tools and
equipment.  
Distractions can cause you to lose control.  Protect others in the
work area.  Provide barriers or shields as needed.

4.

Stay alert.  Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool.  Do not use tools and equipment 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.

5.

Dress properly.  Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.  Contain long hair.

            Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.  Loose
            clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

6.

Do not overreach.  Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  Proper

            footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

7.

Use safety equipment.  Always wear ANSI approved safety impact goggles,

            safety shoes/boots, and heavy duty work gloves when using this product.

8.

Do not force the tool.  Use the correct tool for your application.  The correct

            tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

9.

Store idle tools and equipment out of reach of children and other untrained

            persons.  Tools and equipment are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

10.

Maintain tools with care.  Do not use a damaged tool.  Tag damaged tools “Do

             not use” until repaired.

11.

If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.  Check for loose screws,

            misalignment or binding of moving parts, loose mounting, cracked or broken
            parts, low hydraulic oil level, and any other condition that may affect its safe
            operation.  Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

12.       Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.  Service
            or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
