KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
OBSERVE WORK AREA CONDITIONS. Do not use tools in damp, wet, or poorly lit
locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use electrically powered
equipment in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle machines, tools, or equipment.
STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools must be locked up in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which
it was intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool’s
capacities.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
DRESS PROPERLY Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they can be caught in moving
parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
Always wear appropriate work clothing.
USE EYE, EAR AND BREATHING PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI approved impact
safety goggles if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI approved dust
mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and mists. Use
ANSI approved ear protection when working in a loud or noisy environment.
DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Protect the power cord from damage, either from
impacts, pulling or corrosive materials. Do not yank machine’s cord to disconnect it from the
receptacle.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across running machines.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect power
cord periodically and, if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized technician. Inspect all
hydraulic seals for leaks prior to use. Control handle and power switch must be kept clean,
dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Be sure that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before operation.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure that you are prepared to begin work before
