•Wear proper eye and ear protection. Also, wear a dust mask.

•Keep guards in place. Always keep guards in working order and in proper alignment and adjustment. Most injuries occur on unguarded power tools.

•Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.

•Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, ties, gloves, rings or other jew- elry. Roll sleeves up above your elbows, wear nonslip footwear, and tuck long hair under a hat.

•Do not operate power tools if you are tired, taking medication, or under the in- fluence of alcohol or drugs.

•Avoid dangerous environments. Don’t use power tools in damp, wet or explo- sive atmospheres.

•Keep work areas well lit, clean, and free from clutter.

•Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

•Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or accessory to do a job for which it is not designed.

•For direction of feed — ALWAYS feed the workpiece into the cutter against the ro- tation of the cutter. NEVER feed the workpiece into the cutter with the rota- tion of the cutter.

•Check damaged parts. A damaged guard or part should be properly repaired or re- placed before further use. If a strange noise or vibration develops, immediately turn off the power, unplug the machine and correct the problem. Never operate a power tool that is not functioning properly.

•Secure workpieces. Use clamps, fixtures, and other devices to hold workpieces when practical. It’s safer than using your hands and it frees your hands to operate the tool.

•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

•Turn off the tool and wait until it comes to a complete stop before removing workpieces and scraps.

•Do not try to stop the tool by grabbing the workpiece or any part of the tool. Turn off the tool and let it come to a com- plete stop by itself.

•Do not leave the tool running unat- tended. Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

•Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure the switch is in the “off” position before plugging in or unplugging the tool.

•Keep children away. All visitors should stay a safe distance from power tools, and wear eye and ear protection.
