II. Safety Rules for all Tools

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

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

3.GROUND ALL 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 grounding prong.

4.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

5.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite acci- dents.

6.AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRON- MENTS. 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 WORK AREA 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.USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a tool or an attachment to do a job that it was not intended to perform.

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

12.USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PROTECTION.

13.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14.MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDI- TION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15.DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER before servicing and when changing accessories.

16.USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the current catalog for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories may be haz- ardous.

17.AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” posi- tion before plugging in the cord.
