Personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
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.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON invites accidents
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
•
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended for your tool. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
•
Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Machine Safety
•
Secure machine to bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This
practice will prevent tipping.
