• MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF
with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys. The unauthorized start-up of a machine by a child or
visitor may result in injury.
• DO NOT FORCE TOOL.
It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL.
Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed. Using the incorrect tool or attachment may result in personal injury.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. If your product is equipped with a cordset, use only 3-wire extension
cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the tool’s plug. 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. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

• WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents may
cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
•
ALWAYS
wear approved protective safety equipment complying with the following
standards:
• Eye protection: AS/NZS1337 Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications;
• Hearing protection: AS/NZS1270 Acoustics – Hearing Protection;
• Respiratory protection: AS/NZS1716 Respiratory Protective Devices.
• DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of
balance may cause personal injury.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.
Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly
maintained blades and machines can further damage the blade or machine and/
or cause injury.
• TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE
POWER SOURCE
before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or
changing set-ups, when making repairs or changing locations. Do not touch the
plug’s metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
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.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may be hazardous when used on another tool. Consult
the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL.
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine 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. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and
off. Damaged parts can cause further damage to the machine and/or personal
injury.
• DIRECTION OF FEED.
Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade or cutter only.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.
Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop. Serious injury can result.
