Rotate the workpiece by hand before applying power.

Rough out the workpiece before installing on the faceplate. Do not mount a split workpiece or one containing a knot.

•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

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

•KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

•DO NOT USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from the work area.

•MAKE THE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

•DON’T 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 attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

•USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure you extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersize cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For runs up to 25 feet, use an 18 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 50 feet, use a 16 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 100 feet, use a 14 AWG or larger gauge cord. For runs up to 150 feet, use a 12 AWG or larger gauge cord. Runs over 150 feet are not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

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