•
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.
•
KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
•
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.
•
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
•
MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
•
DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
•
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
•
USE THE 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 machine will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and
overheating. The table following shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
