Safety Instructions For Power Tools

These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a woodshop. Consider your conditions when setting up or operating your table saw.

1.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

2.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on.

3.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4.DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON- MENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

5.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

6.MAKE WORK SHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7.DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job bet- ter and 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.

9.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. When using an extension cord, be sure it is rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Conductor size must be 16 A.W.G. for cords up to 100 feet in length. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your exten- sion cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged. Minimum Gage for extension cord:

16 A.W.G. 50ft

16 A.W.G. 100ft

14 A.W.G. 200ft

12 A.W.G. 300ft

10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

11.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
