Safety Instructions for Power Tools

9.USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condi- tion. 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 exten- sion 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 eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

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

13.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot- ing and balance at all times.

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

15.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the instruction manual for recom- mended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION- AL STARTING. On machines with mag- netic contact starting switches there is a risk of starting if the machine is bumped or jarred. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

17.MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN “KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward the operator if not handled properly. Know what conditions can create “kickback” and know how to avoid them. Thoroughly read the manual accompanying the machine.

18.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur- ther 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, bind- ing 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.

19.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT- TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

20.NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert- ness is required at all times when running a machine.

21.NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER- ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any instructions you give in regards to the operation of the machine are approved, correct, safe, and clearly understood.
