For your own safety, read the instruction manual 

1. 

before operating the machine. 

Learning the machine’s 

application, limitations, and specific hazards will greatly 
minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.

Wear eye and hearing protection and always use 

2. 

safety glasses. 

Everyday eyeglasses are not safety 

glasses. Use certified safety equipment. Eye protection 
equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards. 
Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 
standards. 

Wear proper apparel. 

3. Do 

not 

wear loose clothing, gloves, 

neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get 
caught in moving parts. Nonslip protective footwear is 
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain 
long hair.

 Do not use the machine in a dangerous environment. 

4. 

The use of power tools in damp or wet locations or in rain 
can cause shock or electrocution. Keep your work area 
well-lit to prevent tripping or placing arms, hands, and 
fingers in danger.

Do not operate electric tools near flammable liquids 

5. 

or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. 

Motors and 

switches in these tools may spark and ignite fumes.

 Maintain all tools and machines in peak condition. 

6. 

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest 
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and 
changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and 
machines can further damage the tool or machine and/or 
cause injury.

Check for damaged parts. 

7. 

Before using the machine, 

check for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of 
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, 
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. 
A guard or any other part that is damaged should be 
properly repaired or replaced with SCTW  

or factory 

authorized replacement parts. Damaged parts can cause 
further damage to the machine and/or injury.

 Keep the work area clean. 

8. 

Cluttered areas and benches 

invite accidents.

Keep children and visitors away. 

9. 

Your shop is a 

potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors 
can be injured.

Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. 

10. Make 

sure 

that the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in 
the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the 
switch to the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can 
cause injury. Do not touch the plug’s metal prongs when 
unplugging or plugging in the cord. 

Use the guards. 

11. 

Check to see that all safety devices are 

in place, secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before starting 

12. 

the machine. 

Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can 

be thrown at high speed, causing injury.

Use the right machine. 

13. 

Don’t force a machine or an 

attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. 
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.

Use recommended accessories. 

14. 

The use of accessories 

and attachments not recommended by SCTW may cause 
damage to the machine or injury to the user.

Use the proper extension cord. 

15. 

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. See the 

E

 

xtension Cord Chart

 for the 

correct size depending on the cord length and nameplate 
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. 
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Secure the workpiece. 

16. 

Use clamps or a vise to hold the 

workpiece when practical.  Loss of control of a workpiece 
can cause injury.

Feed the workpiece against the direction of the 

17. 

rotation of the blade, cutter, or abrasive surface. 

Feeding it from the other direction will cause the 
workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.

Don’t force the workpiece on the machine. 

18. Damage 

to 

the machine and/or injury may result.

Don’t overreach. 

19. 

Loss of balance can make you fall into 

a working machine, causing injury.

Never stand on the machine. 

20. 

Injury could occur if the 

tool tips, or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.

Never leave the machine running unattended. 

21. Turn 

the power off. Don’t leave the machine until it comes to a 
complete stop. A child or visitor could be injured.

Turn the machine “

22. 

OFF”, and disconnect the machine 

from the power source before installing or removing 
accessories, changing cutters, adjusting or changing 
set-ups. 

When making repairs, be sure to lock the start 

switch in the “OFF” position. An accidental start-up can 
cause injury.

Make your workshop childproof with padlocks, master 

23. 

switches, or by removing starter keys. 

The accidental 

start-up of a machine by a child or visitor could cause 
injury.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use 

24. 

common sense. 

Do not use the machine when you 

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

 

25. 

 

Use of this tool can generate and 

disperse dust or other airborne particles, including 
wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust.  

Direct particles away from face and body.  Always operate 
tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust 
removal.  Use dust collection system wherever possible.  
Exposure to the

 

dust may cause serious and permanent 

respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious
lung disease), cancer, and death.  Avoid breathing the 
dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing 
dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin 
may promote absorption of harmful material. Always 
use properly fitting  NIOSH/OSHA  approved respiratory 
protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash 
exposed areas with soap and water. 

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

 Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
