General Safety Information

 

Warning:

 For your own safety, read all of the instructions and precautions before operating tool. 

 

Caution:

 Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in this manual — even if you 

are familiar with use of this or similar tools. Remember that being careless for even a fraction of 
a second can result in severe personal injury. 
 

PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: 

Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals 

known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. 
Some examples of these chemicals are: 

 

Lead from lead-based paints. 

 

Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products. 

 

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. 

Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how often you do this type of work. To 
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety 
equipment. Always wear 

OSHA/NIOSH 

approved, properly fitting facemasks or respirators 

when using such tools. 
 

Be Prepared for Job 

1.

 

Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other 
jewelry that may get caught in moving parts of machine. 

2.

 

Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. 

3.

 

Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles. 

4.

 

Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only 
impact resistant lenses. They are 

NOT 

safety glasses. 

5.

 

Wear facemask or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. 

6.

 

Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when tired, intoxicated or when taking 
medications that cause drowsiness. 

 

Prepared Work Area for Job 

1.

 

Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and workbenches invite accidents. 

2.

 

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. 

3.

 

Work area should be properly lit. 

4.

 

A proper electrical outlet should be available for the tool. Three-prong plugs should be 
plugged directly into properly grounded, three-prong receptacles. 

5.

 

Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three wires of the extension cord 
should be at the correct gauge. 

6.

 

Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area. 

7.

 

Keep children out of workplace and childproof the workshop. Use padlocks, master switches, 
and switch key removal to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.
