GENERAL SAFETY RULES (CONTINUED)


13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not

leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.


14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit.

DO NOT store anything above or near the tool.


15. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Wear oil-resistant

rubber-soled footwear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.


16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.


17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage,

improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.


18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS

remove starter keys.


19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that could

affect your ability to use the tool properly.


20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES—that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses

only have impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when
working in a dusty environment. Use ear protection, such as plugs or muffs, during extended periods
of operation.
