11. Do not place hands near the chuck while the machine is operating.
12. Make all machine adjustments or maintenance with the machine unplugged from the power source.
13. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the machine before turning it on.
14. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or
dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes,
use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately after maintenance is complete.
16. Check damaged parts. 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.
17. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
18. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
19. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
20. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless
acts that can result in serious injury.
21. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
22. Use the right tool. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool
will do the job better and safer.
23. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
24. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
25. Turn off the machine and disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove
chips or debris — do not use your hands.
26. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes
to a complete stop.
27. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
