General safety rules for bench tools
WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning it on.
• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• Don’t use in a dangerous environment. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lighted.
• Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
• Make the workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
• Don’t force the tool. It will do the job better and more safely when used at the rate that it was
designed to work at.
• Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job that it was not designed to do.
• Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
