Before any work is done, carefully read the cautions listed. Working
safely prevents accidents.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
•
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts of machine.
•
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•
Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
•
Wear safety glasses which comply with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses.
•
Wear face mask or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
•
Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
WORK AREA SHOULD BE READY FOR JOB
•
Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches
invite accidents.
•
Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power
tools to rain.
•
Work area should be properly lighted.
•
Proper electrical outlet should be available for tool.
Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
•
Extension cords should have a grounding prong, and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
•
Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
•
Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent
any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
•
Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
•
Read operating instructions manual for specific maintaining
and adjusting procedures.
•
Keep tool lubricated.
•
Use sharp cutters and keep the tool clean for safest operation.
•
Remove adjusting tools. Form the habit of checking that adjust-
ing tools are removed before turning on the machine.
•
Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
•
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
•
Damaged parts should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not
perform makeshift repairs. (Use the parts list provided to order
replacement parts.)
