POWER TOOL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and
knowing how to use your power tool.
WARNING
• To avoid mistakes that could cause
serious injury, do not plug the tool in until you have
read and understood the following.
• Read all instructions before operating product. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1. READ and become familiar with the entire
Operator's Manual. LEARN the tool's application,
limitations and possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool before turning ON.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do
not use power tools in damp locations, or expose them to
rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders
should be kept a safe distance from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. 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
that the product will draw. An undersized cord will result in
a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will cause
the tool to overheat. The table on page 4 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If In doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes and
could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS
wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply
with ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact–resistant lenses.
They ARE NOT safety glasses.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1
could seriously injure you when they break.
13. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sawing
operation produces dust.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It is safer than using your
hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE before
servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades,
bits and cutters.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure switch is in the OFF position before plugging
the tool in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this
Operator's Manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury
to yourself or others.
18. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally turn on.
19. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function – check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER "OFF". Do not walk away from a
running tool until the grinding wheels come to a complete
stop and the tool is unplugged from the power source.
21. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. NEVER reach across the path of the
cutting blade while tool is in operation.
22. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
23. DO NOT use power tool in presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
24. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of
any drugs, alcohol or medication that could affect your
ability to use the tool properly.
