21.Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

22.Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

23.Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the blade or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

24.Adjust the upper guides to approximately 3/16” above the workpiece.

25.Make relief cuts when sawing curves.

26.Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and more safely.

27.Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

28.Maintain tools with care. Keep blades sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

29.Turn off the machine and disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.

30.Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

31.Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
