SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MACHINERY

1. READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE USE. Machinery presents serious injury

hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY.

Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY.

Machinery noise can cause permanent hearing loss.

4. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,

rings, or jewellery that can catch in moving parts. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.

5. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF

DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Be mentally alert at all times when in use.

6. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE

MACHINERY. Make sure operation instructions are safe and understood.

7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY from the work area.

8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and

remove start switch keys.

9. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machinery in

damp, wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist.

10. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIGHTED. Clutter and dark shadows

may cause accidents.

11. MAINTAIN MACHINERY WITH CARE. Keep blades sharp and clean for best

and safest performance.

12. MAKE SURE GUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND WORK BEFORE USING MACHINERY.

13. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for

keys and adjusting wrenches before turning machinery ON.

14. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check for

binding or misaligned parts, broken parts, loose bolts, and any other
conditions that may impair machine operation. Repair or replace
damaged parts before operation

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Refer to the instruction manual for

recommended accessories. Improper accessories increase risk of injury.

16. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at the speed for which the machine or

accessory was designed.

17. DO NOT OVER REACH. Maintain stability and balance at all times.
