17. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in “OFF” position before plugging in
power cord.
In the event of a power failure, move switch
to the “OFF” position.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally con-
tacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be care-
fully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and per-
form its intended function – check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cut-
ter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter
only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
22.
STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND
USE COMMON SENSE WHEN OPERATING A POWER
TOOL. DO NOT USE TOOL WHILE TIRED OR UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICA-
TION. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
23. MAKE SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM
POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted, connect-
ed or reconnected.
24. THE DUST GENERATED by certain woods and wood
products can be injurious to your health. Always operate
machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for proper
dust removal. Use wood dust collection systems whenever
possible.
