1. Always wear protective eye wear when operating
machinery. Eye wear shall be impact resistant, protective
safety glasses with side shields which comply with ANSI
Z87.1 specifications. Use of eye wear which does not
comply with ANSI Z87.1 specifications could result in
severe injury from breakage of eye protection.
2. Wear proper apparel. No loose clothing or
jewelry which can get caught in moving parts. Rubber
soled footwear is recommended for best footing.
3. Do not overreach. Failure to maintain proper
working position can cause you to fall into the machine or
cause your clothing to get caught — pulling you into the
machine.
4. Keep guards in place and in proper working
order. Do not operate the machine with guards removed.
5. Avoid dangerous working environments. Do not
use stationary machine tools in wet or damp locations.
Keep work areas clean and well lit. Special electrics
should be used when working on flammable materials.
6. Avoid accidental starts by being sure the start
switch is OFF” before plugging in the machine.
7. Never leave the machine running while unat-
tended. Machine shall be shut off whenever it is not in
operation.
8. Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
Whenever changing accessories or general maintenance
is done on the machine, electrical power to the machine
must be disconnected before work is done.
9. Maintain all machine tools with care. Follow all
maintenance instructions for lubricating and the changing
of accessories. No attempt shall be made to modify or
have makeshift repairs done to the machine. This not
only voids the warranty but also renders the machine
unsafe.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work, when practical. It is safer than using your hands
and it frees both hands to operate the machine.
12. Never brush away chips while the machine is in
operation.
13. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
accidents.
14. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning machine on.
15. Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or attach-
ment to do a job it was not designed for.
16. Use only recommended accessories and follow
manufacturers instructions pertaining to them.
17. Keep hands in sight and clear of all moving
parts and cutting surfaces.
18. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance
from the work area. Make workshop completely safe by
using padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
19. Know the tool you are using — its application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
