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 and work with approved safety
equipment. Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using such tools.
Before any work is done, carefully read the cautions listed. Working
safely prevents accidents.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
•
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts of machine.
•
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•
Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
•
Wear safety glasses which comply with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses.
•
Wear face mask or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
•
Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
WORK AREA SHOULD BE READY FOR JOB
•
Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches
invite accidents.
•
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.
•
Work area should be properly lighted.
•
Proper electrical outlet should be available for tool.
Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
•
Extension cords should have a grounding prong, and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
•
Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
•
Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent
any unintentional use of power tools.
TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED
•
Always unplug tool prior to inspection.
•
Read operating instructions manual for specific maintaining
and adjusting procedures.
•
Keep tool lubricated.
•
Use sharp cutters and keep the tool clean for safest operation.
•
Remove adjusting tools. Form the habit of checking that adjust-
ing tools are removed before turning on the machine.
•
Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the
guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their
intended function.
•
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding, breakage, mounting and any other condition that may
affect a tool’s operation.
•
Damaged parts should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not
perform makeshift repairs. (Use the parts list provided to order
replacement parts.)
KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
•
Use the right tool for the job. Do not force tool or attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed.
•
Disconnect tool when changing accessories such as bits, cut-
ters and the like.
•
Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure switch is in OFF position
before plugging in.
•
Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the rate for
which it was designed.
•
Handle workpiece correctly. Secure work with clamps or vise.
Leave hands free to operate machine, Protect hands from
possible injury.
•
Never leave a tool running unattended. Turn the power off and
do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.
•
Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped
or if cutter is unintentionally contacted.
•
Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.
•
Know your tool. Learn its operation, application and specific
limitations.
•
Feed work into a bit or cutter against the direction of rotation
of bit or cutter.
•
Turn the machine off if it jams. A cutter jams when it digs too
deeply into the workpiece. (The motor force keeps it stuck in
workpiece.)
•
Use recommended accessories. Refer to page 11. Use of
improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
•
Clamp workpiece or brace against column to prevent rotation.
•
Use recommended speed for drill accessory and workpiece
material.
WARNING:
Think Safety! Safety is a combination of operator com-
mon sense and alertness at all times when drill press is being used.
