SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
For your own safety, read all of the instructions and
precautions before operating tool.
CAUTION:
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined
in this manual — even if you are familiar with use of this or similar
tools. Remember that being careless for even a fraction of a second
can result in severe personal injury.
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause can-
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products.
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment. Always wear
OSHA/NIOSH
approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using such tools.
Before any work is done, carefully read the cautions listed. Working
safely prevents accidents.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
•
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts of machine.
•
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
•
Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
•
Wear safety glasses which comply with United States ANSI
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They
are NOT safety glasses.
•
Wear face mask or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
•
Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when
tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause
drowsiness.
WORK AREA SHOULD BE READY FOR JOB
•
Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas and work benches
invite accidents.
•
Do not use power tools in dangerous environments. Do not use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power
tools to rain.
•
Work area should be properly lighted.
•
Proper electrical outlet should be available for tool.
Three-prong plug should be plugged directly into properly
grounded, three-prong receptacle.
•
Extension cords should have a grounding prong, and the three
wires of the extension cord should be of the correct gauge.
•
Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
•
Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop childproof. Use
padlocks, master switches or remove switch keys to prevent
any unintentional use of power tools.
