GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
• READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND KNOW YOUR
TOOL. Read and familiarize yourself with entire instruction
manual. Learning the tool's proper applications, limitations,
and specific potential hazards will greatly minimize the
possibility of accidents and injury. Make sure all users are
familiar with its warnings and instructions before using tool.
• DO NOT OPERATE saw without guards in place and
working properly.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form
habit of checking to see that all adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed before starting tool.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT. Cluttered or
poorly lit work areas, surfaces and benches can lead to
accidents.
• DO NOT USE OR STORE TOOL IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENTS. Exposure to rain and damp or wet
locations can result in shock or electrocution, or damage
the tool. Do not operate electric tools near flammable
liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors
and switches in these tools may spark and ignite fumes.
• KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY from work
area.
• LOCK TOOLS AND WORK AREA. Use padlocks, and
master switches, or remove and store starter keys to
prevent operation by children and other unauthorized
users.
• DO NOT FORCE TOOL OR WORKPIECE. Operate tool
at intended speed and feed rate for better and safer
operation.
• USE PROPER TOOL. Do not force tool to do a task got
which it is not designed.
• DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORDS. NEVER yank cord to
disconnect from receptacle, crush cord, or expose it to
heat, oil or sharp objects.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. If you use an extension
cord, make sure it is in good condition and 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 Extension Cord Chart and
data plate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next smaller
gauge number. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord. When working outside, make sure extension
cord is rated for outdoor use. Consult power connection
section of this manual for Extension Cord Chart and power
connection safety.
• SECURE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
workpiece when practical. It is safer than using your hands
and frees both hands to operate tool.
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance
to maintain control.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and
clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
• DISCONNECT POWER before changing blades, servicing
saw, making adjustments, or installing and removing
power switch lock.
• TO REDUCE RISK OF ACCIDENTAL STARTING, make sure
power switches are in "OFF" position before plugging tool
in.
• DO NOT touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging
or plugging in the cord.
• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult manual
for recommended accessories. Use of inappropriate
accessories may cause personal injury or property
damage.
• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if
the tool tips or if you unintentionally contact the cutting
surface.
• CHECK TOOLS FOR DAMAGE. Before using, and after
tool or accessory has been dropped or damaged, check
guards and affected parts for alignment of moving parts,
and any other condition that may affect its operation to
make sure tool will operate properly and all parts will
perform their intended function. Do not use a damaged
product. A guard or any other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced using factory approved
service parts.
• USER PROPER FEED DIRECTION. Feed workpiece
against the direction of rotation of the tool's blade, cutter,
or abrasive surface. Feeding in the other direction may
cause the work piece to be thrown at high speed.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete
stop. In the event of a power failure, move switch to "OFF"
position.
• STAY ALERT; WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE
COMMON SENSE. Do not use power tools when tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in injury.
• SERVICE PARTS. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts.
• 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.
• WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION. All persons in
work area should wear safety glasses with side shields.
Everyday eye glasses with impact resistant lenses are not
safety glasses. Eye equipment should comply with ANSI
Z87.1 standards.
• HEARING PROTECTION. All people in work area should
wear proper hearing protection consistent with noise levels
and exposure. Hearing equipment should comply with
ANSI S3.19 standards.
• DUST PROTECTION. Use of power tools can generate
and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious or
permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a
serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Direct articles
away from face and body. Always operate tool in a well-
ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust collection system whenever possible. Avoid breathing
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. Use properly fitting
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
• Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or
removed.
