• Wear proper eye and ear protection. Also,
wear a dust mask.
• Keep guards in place. Always keep
guards in working order and in proper
alignment and adjustment. Most injuries
occur on unguarded power tools.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose
clothing, ties, gloves, rings or other jew-
elry. Roll sleeves up above your elbows,
wear nonslip footwear, and tuck long
hair under a hat.
• Do not operate power tools if you are
tired, taking medication, or under the in-
fluence of alcohol or drugs.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Don’t
use power tools in damp, wet or explo-
sive atmospheres.
• Keep work areas well lit, clean, and free
from clutter.
• Do not 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
accessory to do a job for which it is not
designed.
• For direction of feed — ALWAYS feed the
workpiece into the cutter against the ro-
tation of the cutter. NEVER feed the
workpiece into the cutter with the rota-
tion of the cutter.
• Check damaged parts. A damaged guard
or part should be properly repaired or re-
placed before further use. If a strange
noise or vibration develops, immediately
turn off the power, unplug the machine
and correct the problem. Never operate
a power tool that is not functioning
properly.
• Secure workpieces. Use clamps, fixtures,
and other devices to hold workpieces
when practical. It’s safer than using your
hands and it frees your hands to operate
the tool.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
• Turn off the tool and wait until it comes
to a complete stop before removing
workpieces and scraps.
• Do not try to stop the tool by grabbing
the workpiece or any part of the tool.
Turn off the tool and let it come to a com-
plete stop by itself.
• Do not leave the tool running unat-
tended. Turn power off. Don’t leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure
the switch is in the “off” position before
plugging in or unplugging the tool.
• Disconnect tools. Turn off and unplug
tools before changing accessories and set-
ups, making adjustments, and perform-
ing maintenance and repair.
• Do not stand or lean on the tool. You
could fall onto the tool or it could tip
over injuring you and/or damaging the
tool.
• Maintain tools. Keep parts and tools
sharp, clean and maintained according to
the Owners Manual.
• Make your workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove
starter keys.
• Keep children away. All visitors should
stay a safe distance from power tools, and
wear eye and ear protection.
• Do not permit anyone who is inexperi-
enced to use your power tools without
supervision.
