Safety Rules for ALL Tools

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

2.KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in work- ing 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 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 locations 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 dis- tance 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.

14.MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest per- formance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15.DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER before servicing and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, and cutters.

16.AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the cord.

17.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not operate the machine until you are certain it is in perfect running condition.

18.NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a full stop.

19.DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.

20.DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate machine if you are mentally or physically fatigued.

21.IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND, DO NOT OPER- ATE MACHINE! Ask for help first. Confusion can be dangerous.

22.BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS. Review all safety procedures often.
