4.

ALWAYS

wear a NIOSH/OSHA approved dust

mask to prevent inhaling dangerous dust or air-
borne particles.

8.

AVOID

a dangerous working environment.

DO

NOT

use electrical tools in a damp environment

or expose them to rain or moisture.

9.

CHILDPROOF THE WORKSHOP AREA

by

removing switch keys, unplugging tools from the
electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.

3.

ALWAYS

wear hearing protection. Plain cotton is

not an acceptable protective device. Hearing
equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19
Standards.

10.

DO NOT

use electrical tools in the presence of

flammable liquids or gasses.

5.

ALWAYS

keep the work area clean, well lit, and

organized.  

DO NOT

work in an area that has slip-

pery floor surfaces from debris, grease, and wax.

6.

ALWAYS

unplug the machine from the electrical

receptacle when making adjustments, changing
parts or performing any maintenance. 

7.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING

. Make sure that

the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
plugging in the power cord to the electrical
receptacle.

11.

DO NOT FORCE 

the machine to perform an opera-

tion for which it was not designed. It will do a safer
and higher quality job by only performing operations
for which the machine was intended.

12.

DO NOT

stand on a machine. Serious injury could

result if it tips over or you accidentally contact any
moving part.

13.

DO NOT

store anything above or near the machine.

14.

DO NOT 

operate any machine or tool if under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

15.

EACH AND EVERY

time, check for damaged parts

prior to using any machine. Carefully check all
guards to see that they operate properly, are not
damaged, and perform their intended functions.
Check for alignment, binding or breakage of all
moving parts. Any guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be immediately repaired or replaced.

16. Ground all machines. If any machine is supplied

with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a 3-
contact electrical receptacle. The third prong is
used to ground the tool and provide protection
against accidental electric shock. 

DO NOT

remove

the third prong.

17. Keep visitors and children away from any machine.

DO NOT

permit people to be in the immediate work

area, especially when the machine is operating.

18.

KEEP

protective guards in place and in working

order.

19.

MAINTAIN

your balance. 

DO NOT

extend yourself

over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes.
Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.

20.

MAINTAIN

all machines with care. 

ALWAYS KEEP

machine clean and in good working order. 

KEEP

all

blades and tool bits sharp.

21.

NEVER

leave a machine running, unattended. Turn

the power switch to the OFF position. 

DO NOT

leave the machine until it has come to a complete
stop.

22.

REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS

from the

immediate area prior to turning the machine ON.

23.

SECURE

all work. When it is possible, use clamps

or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer than
attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.

24.

STAY ALERT

, watch what you are doing, and use

common sense when operating any machine. 

DO

NOT

operate any machine tool while tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.  A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
