General Safety Rules - Biesemeyer T-Square Manual De Instrucciones

1. For your own safety, read the instruction manual
before operating the machine. Learning the machine's
application, limitations, and specific hazards will greatly
minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.
2. Wear eye and hearing protection and always use safety
glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are not safety glasses. Use
certified safety equipment. Eye protection equipment should
comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards. Hearing equipment should
comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.
3. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip protective footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
4. Do not use the machine in a dangerous environment. The use
of power tools in damp or wet locations or in rain can cause
shock or electrocution. Keep your work area well-lit to prevent
tripping or placing arms, hands, and fingers in danger.
5. Maintain all tools and machines in peak condition. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly
maintained tools and machines can further damage the tool or
machine and/or cause injury.
6. Check for damaged parts. Before using the machine, check
for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other
conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or any other
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
with Delta or factory authorized replacement parts. Damaged
parts can cause further damage to the machine and/or injury.
7. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.
8. Keep children and visitors away. Your shop is a potentially
dangerous environment. Children and visitors can be injured.
9. Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure
that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the
power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the switch to
the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Do
not touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging or plugging
in the cord.
10. Use the guards. Check to see that all guards are in place,
secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.
11. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before starting the
machine. Tools, scrap pieces, and other debris can be thrown
at high speed, causing injury.
12. Use the right machine. Don't force a machine or an attachment
to do a job for which it was not designed. Damage to the
machine and/or injury may result.
13. Use recommended accessories. The use of accessories and
attachments not recommended by Delta may cause damage to
the machine or injury to the user.
14. Use the proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. See the Extension
Cord Chart for the correct size depending on the cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
15. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a workpiece can

cause injury.
16. Feed the workpiece against the direction of the rotation of the
blade, cutter, or abrasive surface. Feeding it from the other
direction will cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high
speed.
17. Don't force the workpiece on the machine. Damage to the
machine and/or injury may result.
18. Don't overreach. Loss of balance can make you fall into a
working machine, causing injury.
19. Never stand on the machine. Injury could occur if the tool tips,
or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.
20. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power
off. Don't leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
A child or visitor could be injured.
21. Turn the machine "OFF", and disconnect the machine from
the power source before installing or removing accessories,
changing cutters, adjusting or changing set-ups. When making
repairs, be sure to lock the start switch in the "OFF" position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
22. Make your workshop childproof with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys. The accidental start-up
of a machine by a child or visitor could cause injury.
23. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense.
Do not use the machine when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in injury.
24. Use of this tool can generate and disburse
dust or other airborne particles, including wood dust,
crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away
from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated
area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection
system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause
serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including
silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid
breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your
skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use
properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas
with soap and water.
