A. Safety Instructions For All Tools

These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a workshop. Consider your individual workshop conditions when setting up or operating any machine.

1.KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as its par- ticular hazards.

2.KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

3.GROUND ALL POWER TOOLS. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the ground- ing prong.

4.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.

5.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

6.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.

7.KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance away from your work area.

8.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

9.DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better and more safely when they are allowed to work at their own speed.

10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry that might get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear should be worn. Wear a hat or other protective head wear if your hair is long.

11.NEVER STAND OR LEAN ON TOOL.

12.USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PRO- TECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the cut- ting operation is dusty.
