SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
It is important for you to read and understand this manual.
The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR
SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information.
DANGER:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION:
Used without the safety alert symbol indicates potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in property damage.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known 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, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear
protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury.
Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust
exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
CAUTION:
Wear appropriate hearing protection during use.
Under some conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Woodworking can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there
are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will
considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored,
personal injury to the operator may result. Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, featherboards,
goggles, dust masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up
for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop. If a
procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer.
REMEMBER:
Your personal
safety is your responsibility.
