A. Safety Instructions For All Tools

These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a workshop. Consider your individual workshop conditions when setting up or operating any machine.

1.KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the own- er’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applica- tions and limitations, as well as its particular hazards.

2.KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in work- ing order.

3.GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the adapt- er plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the grounding prong.

4.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

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

6.AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area well lighted.

7.KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance away from your work area.

8.MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF with pad- locks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

9.DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work better and more safely when they are allowed to work at their own speed.

10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry that might get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear should be worn. Wear a hat or other protective head wear if your hair is long.

11.NEVER STAND OR LEAN ON TOOL.

12.USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR PROTEC- TION. Also use a DUST MASK if the cutting operation is dusty.
