SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm, at home, or on the highway, are caused by the
failure of some individual to follow simple and fundamental safety rules or precautions. For this reason most accidents can be
prevented, by recognizing the real cause and doing something about it before the accident occurs. Regardless of the care used
in the design and construction of any kind of equipment, there are many conditions that cannot be completely safeguarded
against without interfering with reasonable accessibility and efficient operation.
A careful operator is the best insurance against an accident. The complete observance of one simple rule would prevent many
thousand serious injuries each year. The rule is: Never attempt to clean, oil or adjust machinery of any kind while it is under
power or in motion. If your attention is distracted while operating any power tool, do two things first: 1. Turn off power; 2. Step
away from the tool, then look. Always follow these safety measures:
1. Never make any adjustment while the motor is running.
2. Keep belt guard on - this is extremely important in the vertical position to prevent operator’s hair from getting in the
pulley.
3. Do not wear loose clothing -ties, loose sleeves, etc. - when operating power machinery of any kind.
4. Do not allow small children close to the unit when motor is running. Better still; do not allow children in room while
operating under power. Always pull out electric plug when the machine is left unattended as someone might turn on
power.
