Safety Rules for All Power Tools
1. Read and become familiar with the entire instruction manual. Learn the tool’s applications,
limitations and possible hazards.
2. Earth all tools. If the tool is equipped with a three-prong plug. It must be plugged into a three-
contact electric outlet. The third prong is a ground to provide protection against accidental
electrical shock. If an adapter is used to accommodate a tow-contact outlet, the adaptor’s
grounding lug must be connected to a known ground. Never remove the third prong on a three
prong plug.
3. Check damaged parts. A guard or any other part that is damaged should be checked to ensure
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function before the tool is used further.
Check for proper alignment of moving parts and for possible broken parts, loose mountings,
or any other condition that could affect the tool’s operation. A guard or other damaged part
should be properly repaired or replaced.
4. Disconnect power before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, cutters.
5. Keep guards in place and in working order.
6. Protect your eyes from being injured by objects thrown by a power tool. Always wear safety
glasses or safety goggles.
7. Wear a face mask or dust mask if the cutting operation produces dust.
8. Don’t force the tool. It will give a better and safer performance when used on jobs for which it
was designed.
9. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging
in the power cord. Remove the switch when the tool is not being used.
10. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Ensure that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the tool before turning it on.
11. Drugs, alcohol, and medication. Do not operate tool if you are under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.
12. Use recommended accessories. Using improper accessories can be hazardous. If in doubt,
check the instruction manual.
13. Never stand on a tool. Falls can result in injury.
14. Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn the power switch OFF. Don’t leave the tool until
it has come to a complete stop.
15. Always remove the power cord plug from the electric outlet when making adjustments,
changing parts, cleaning, or working on the table.
16. Avoid dangerous conditions. Don’t use power tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to
rain. Keep your work area clean and well lighted. Do not use power tools in areas where fumes
from paint, solvents, or flammable liquids pose a potential hazard.
17. Keep visitors and children away. Other people should keep a safe distance from the work area,
especially when the tool is operating.
