5.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from work area. Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment.

6.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys. The unauthorized start-up of a machine by a child or visitor may result in injury.

7.DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8.USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Using the incorrect tool or attachment may result in personal injury.

9.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure that your extension cord is in good condition. If your product is equipped a cord set, use only three-wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding-type plugs, and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Air vents may cover moving parts and should also be avoided.

11.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday glasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:

ANSI A87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection

12.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury.

13.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly maintained blades and machines can further damage the blade or machine and/or cause injury.

14.TURN THE MACHINE "OFF" AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups, when making repairs or changing locations. Do not touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

15.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start- up can cause injury.

16USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may be hazardous when used on another tool. Consult

the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

17.NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

18.CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Damaged parts can cause further damage to the machine and/or personal injury.

19.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed wok into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

20.NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop. Serious injury can result.

21.DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRIC TOOLS NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR IN GASEOUS OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. Motors and switches in these tools may spark and ignite fumes.

22.STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious injury.

23.DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (gained from frequent use of your saw) TO REPLACE SAFETY RULES. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
