1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
6. MAKE YOUR WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. 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 A
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the chord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work when practical. It's safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters,
and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure power switch is in the OFF position
before plugging the machine in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - 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.
