III. SAFETY RULES FOR ALL TOOLS
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as its
particular hazards.
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong receptacle,
the adapter 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 loca-
tions 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
padlocks, 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 PRO-
TECTION. Also use a DUST MASK if the
cutting operation is dusty.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION.
Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricat-
ing and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER
before servicing and when changing acces-
sories, such as blades, bits, and cutters.
16. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make
sure the switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging in the cord.
17. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Do not oper-
ate the machine until you are certain it is in
perfect running condition.
18. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED - TURN POWER OFF.
Do not leave the tool until it comes to a full
stop.
19. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL IF USING
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION.
20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate
machine if you are mentally or physically
fatigued.
21. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT
KNOW OR UNDERSTAND, DO NOT
OPERATE MACHINE! Ask for help first.
Confusion can be dangerous.
22. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS. Review
all safety procedures often.
These safety rules cannot cover every situation in a
woodshop. Consider your conditions when setting
up and using your jig.
