SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED)
• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.
• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
Prepare Work Area for Job
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.
• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not
use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose
power tools to rain.
• Work area should be properly lighted.
• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for tool. Three-
prong plug should be plugged directly into properly grounded,
three-prong receptacle.
• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof.
Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to
prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
Tool Should Be Maintained
• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjusting
procedures.
• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.
• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that
adjusting tools are removed before switching machine on.
• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition
that may affect a tool’s operation.
• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced. Do not perform makeshift repairs. (Use
parts list provided to order repair parts.)
Know How to Use Tool
• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed.
• Disconnect tool when changing the belt or abrasive disc.
• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the tool is in the OFF
position before plugging in.
• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts and sanding surfaces.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and
do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
or if blade is unintentionally contacted.
• Know your tool. Learn the tool’s operation, application and
specific limitations.
• Use recommended accessories. Use of improper accessories
may cause risk of injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Belt jams when it digs too deeply
into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it stuck in the work.)
• Support workpiece with miter gauge, belt platen or work table.
• Maintain 1/16˝ maximum clearance between table and sanding
belt or disc.
Think safety! Safety is a combination of
operator common sense and alertness at
all times when tool is being used.
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is
completely assembled according to
instructions.
