3.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.  Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks.  Provide barriers or shields as needed.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1.

Stay alert.  Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-
ating a power tool.  Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
  A  moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2.

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.

3.

Avoid accidental starting.  Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. 
 Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in
power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

4.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on.  A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.

5.

Do not overreach.  Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

6.

Use safety equipment.  Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses under a
full face shield, a dust mask/respirator, and hearing protection during use.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1.

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
  Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.  Only work on a workpiece that is properly secured by tightening the Clamp-
ing Screw (4).

2.

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

1.

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