-7-

  

7.  ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROP-

ERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO 

OPERATE MACHINERY.  Make  sure  

operation instructions are safe and clearly 

understood.

8.  KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. 

Keep  all  children  and  visitors  a  safe  dis-

tance from the work area.

9.   MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use 

padlocks,  master  switches,  and  remove 

start switch keys.

10. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS 

RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all 

moving parts to come to a complete stop 

before leaving machine unattended.

11. 

 

DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS 

ENVIRONMENTS.  DO  NOT  use  machin-

ery  in  damp,  wet  locations,  or  where  any 

flammable or noxious fumes may exist. 

12.  KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL 

LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause 

accidents.

13. 

USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION 

CORD  RATED FOR THE MACHINE 

AMPERAGE.  Undersized  cords  overheat 

and lose power.  Replace extension cords 

if  they  become  damaged.  DO  NOT  use 

extension cords for 220V machinery. 

14.  ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER 

SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING 

MACHINERY. Make sure switch is in OFF 

position before reconnecting.

15. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. 

Keep blades sharp and clean for best and 

safest performance. Follow instructions for 

lubricating and changing accessories.

16.  MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE 

AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE 

USING MACHINERY.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

17. 

 

REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND 

WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for 

keys  and  adjusting  wrenches  before  turn-

ing machinery 

ON.

18. 

CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS 

BEFORE USING MACHINERY.  Check 

for binding and alignment of parts, broken 

parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any 

other  conditions  that  may  affect  machine 

operation.  Repair  or  replace  damaged 

parts.

19. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. 

Refer to the instruction manual for recom-

mended accessories. The use of improper 

accessories may cause risk of injury.

20.  DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY.  Work  at 

the speed for which the machine or acces-

sory was designed.

21. SECURE  WORKPIECE.  Use  clamps  or 

a  vise  to  hold  the  workpiece  when  practi-

cal.  A  secured  workpiece  protects  your 

hands and frees both hands to operate the 

machine.

22.  DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-

ing and balance at all times.

23. 

MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT 

THE WORKPIECE  TOWARD THE 

OPERATOR.  Know  and  avoid  conditions 

that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

24. 

ALWAYS LOCK MOBILE BASES 

 

(IF USED) BEFORE OPERATING 

MACHINERY.

25.  ALLERGIC  REACTIONS.  Be  aware  that 

certain  metal  shavings  and  cutting  fluids 
may  cause  an  allergic  reaction  in  people 
and animals, especially when cutting fumes 
can be inhaled. Make sure you know what 
type of metal and cutting fluid you will be 
exposed  to  and  how  to  avoid  contamina-
tion.
