7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be
caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes
and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive
hair covering to contain long hair.
8. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety
goggles. Wear a full face shield 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.
9. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across running machines.
10. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorized technician. The handles must be kept clean,
dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
11. Disconnect power. Unplug tool from power source when not in use.
12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before
plugging it in.
13. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position
when not in use and before plugging in or hooking up. Do not carry any
tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it is plugged in or not.
14. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not
operate any tool when you are tired.
15. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these
materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize
skin contact.
16. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and
binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any
other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not
use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
17. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
