GENERAL SAFETY RULES
FOR BENCH TOOLS
To reduce the risk of
injury, the user must read the Operator’s
Manual.
Read all safety
warnings and instructions! Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, re and / or
serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
1) Keep guards in place and in working
order.
2) 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.
3) Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
4) Don’t use in dangerous environments.
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet
locations or expose them to rain. Keep the
work area well lighted.
5) Keep children away. All visitors should
be kept a safe distance from the work area.
6) Make the workshop childproof with
padlocks and master switches or by
removing starter keys.
7) Don’t force the tool. It will do the job
better and more safely when it is used at the
rate at which it was designed to work.
8) Use the right tool. Don’t force the tool
or attachment to do a job that it was not
designed to do.
9) Use the proper extension cord. Make
sure that 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 the cord length and
the nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10) Wear the proper apparel. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry that can get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
11) Always use safety glasses. Also use a
facemask or dust mask if the cutting
operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses
only have impact-resistant lenses. They are
NOT safety glasses.
12) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a
vise to hold the workpiece when practical.
It’s safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
13) Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14) Maintain tools with care. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
15) Disconnect tools before servicing and
when changing accessories, such as blades,
bits, cutters, and the like.
16) Reduce the risk of unintentional starting.
Make sure that the switch is in the OFF
position before plugging in the tool.
17) Use recommended accessories. Consult
the Operator’s Manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause a risk of injury to
persons.
18) Never stand on the tool. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or contacted
unintentionally.
