12.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause accidents.
13.USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE AMPERAGE. Undersized cords over- heat and lose power. Replace extension cords if they become damaged. DO NOT use extension cords for 220V machinery.
14. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING MACHINERY. Make sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.
15.MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16.MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK CORRECTLY BEFORE USING MACHINERY.
17.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for keys and adjusting wrenches before turning machinery ON.
18.CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for binding and alignment of parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that may affect machine operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.
19.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.
20.DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or accessory was designed.
21.SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece when practical. A secured workpiece protects your hands and frees both hands to operate the machine.
22.DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
23.MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE OPERATOR. Know and avoid condi- tions that cause the workpiece to "kickback."
