25.  Never leave the machine running unattended. 

Turn the power off and do not leave the 
machine until it comes to a complete stop. 

26. Remove loose items and unnecessary work 

pieces from the area before starting the 
machine. 

27. Make sure workpiece is securely clamped in 

vise. Never use your hand to hold the 
workpiece. 

28. Never reach around or over a moving saw 

blade. 

29.  Feed work into a blade or cutter only against the 

direction of rotation of the blade or cutter. 

30.  Set blade guides for minimal exposure of blade 

before operating. 

31.  Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use 

power tools in damp or wet location, or expose 
them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. 

32. Use proper extension cord. Make sure your 

extension cord is in good condition. 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. Table 2 (sect. 6.2) shows correct 
size to use depending on cord length and 
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the 
next heavier gage. The smaller the gage 
number, the heavier the cord.

 This means that if precautions are not heeded, it may result in serious, or possibly even fatal,
