General Safety Rules For Power Tools
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. The operation
of any power tool can result in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe injury.
Before beginning tool operation, always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full-
face shield when needed. A Wide Vision Safety Mask is
recommended for use over eyeglasses or standard
safety glasses with side shields. Always wear eye
protection that is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
ACAUTION
ALWAYS WEAR EAR PROTECTION. Power tools
can generate high levels of noise that will cause
permanent hearing loss. Before beginning tool
operation, always don hearing protection to minimize
the risk of damaging hearing.
A CAU_ON
ALWAYS BE ALERT. Operating electrically powered
machinery poses a risk of serious physical injury to
hands and fingers. Always operate machinery with
ALL guards in place and in good working order. DO
NOT attempt to defeat safety guards!
• KNOW THE POWER TOOL. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the
machine's applications and limitations as well as any specific potential hazards related
to this tool.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a
job for which it was not designed. Use it only the way it was intended.
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas and workbenches invite
accidents. Keep floors clean and free of accumulated dust. DO NOT leave tools or
pieces of wood on top of the machine or on support extensions while it is in operation.
• KEEP WORK AREA WELL LIGHTED. Good lighting promotes safety and good
output.
• DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools near
gasoline or other flammable liquids or explosive fumes. Do not use in damp or wet
conditions.
• WEAR A DUST MASK to keep from inhaling fine particles. Use wood dust collection
systems whenever possible.
