GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING BODY CONTACT WITH GROUNDED SURFACES. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.

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

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the tool while it is in operation.

DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or exten- sion cord while operating.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or attach- ment to do a job for which it was not designed.

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry that can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact- resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

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 the tool.

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be disconnected from power source.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in any tool.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may result in injury.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further 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, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.

USE THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade, cutter, or sanding spindle against the direction or rotation of the blade, cutter, or sanding spindle only.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

DO NOT ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.

USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords with approved ground connection that are intended for use outdoors and so marked.
