Safety Instructions For Power Tools

9.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD for the tool. Make sure your exten- sion cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accor- dance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

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 eye- glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glass- es.

12.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

13.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep prop- er footing and balance at all times.

14.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15.DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser- vicing and changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNIN- TENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.

17.USE RECOMMENDED ACCES- SORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended acces- sories. The use of improper acces- sories may cause risk of injury.

18.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is dam- aged 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, mount- ing, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
