or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
6.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
7.
MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF
with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
8.
DON'T FORCE TOOL.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9.
USE RIGHT TOOL.
Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10.
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. Figure B on page 9 shows the 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.
11.
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.
12.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
13.
SECURE WORK.
Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
14.
DON'T OVERREACH.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16.
DISCONNECT TOOLS
before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
17.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STATING.
Make sure switch is in OFF position
before plugging in.
18.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
19.
NEVER STAND ON TOOL.
Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
