SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS
There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. We strongly emphasize that this tool should
never be modified and/or used for any application other than that for which it was designed. If you are
confused about any aspect of this machine,
do not
use it until you have resolved any questions you might
have. The following are important safety rules for all tools.
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE
and in working
order.
2. GROUND ALL TOOLS.
If the tool is equipped
with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged
into a three-hole grounded outlet. If an
adapter is used to accommodate a two-
prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be
attached to a known ground. Never remove
the grounding prong.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES.
Make it a habit to check that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from the machine before turning it on.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.
Do not use power tools in damp or wet loca-
tions or expose them to rain. Keep your work
area well lighted.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY.
All children and visitors should be kept a safe
distance away from your work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF
with
padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE TOOL.
Tools work better
and more safely when they are allowed to
work at their own speed.
9. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry
that might get caught in moving parts. Non-
slip footwear is also recommended. Wear a
hat or other protective head wear if your hair
is long.
10. USE THE RIGHT TOOL.
Do not use a tool or
an attachment to do a job it wasnʼt intended
for.
11. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PRO-
TECTION.
Also use a dust mask if the turn-
ing operation produces dust or fine chips.
