General Safety Rules - Delta SA180 Manual De Instrucciones

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. Learning
the machine's application, limitations, and specific hazards
will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.
2. WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION. ALWAYS
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI
S3.19 standards.
3. 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.
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet
locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep
your work area well-lit to prevent tripping or placing arms,
hands, and fingers in danger.
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAk
CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and
machines can further damage the tool or machine and/or
cause injury.
6. CHECk FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the
machine, check for any damaged parts. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced with Delta or
factory authorized replacement parts. Damaged parts
can cause further damage to the machine and/or injury.
7. kEEP THE WORk AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
8. kEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a
potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors
can be injured.
9. REDUCE THE RISk OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.
Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before
plugging in the power cord. In the event of a power failure,
move the switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start-
up can cause injury. Do not touch the plug's metal prongs
when unplugging or plugging in the cord.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in
place, secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING kEYS AND WRENCHES BEFORE
STARTING THE MACHINE. Tools, scrap pieces, and other
debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.
12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don't force a machine or
an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta
may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
14. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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 your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and
overheating. See the Extension Cord Chart for the correct
size depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
15. SECURE THE WORkPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to
hold the workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a
workpiece can cause injury.
16. FEED THE WORkPIECE AGAINST THE DIRECTION
OF THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE, CUTTER, OR
ABRASIVE SURFACE. Feeding it from the other direction
will cause the workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
17. DON'T FORCE THE WORkPIECE ON THE MACHINE.
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
18. DON'T OVERREACH. Loss of balance can make you fall
into a working machine, causing injury.
19. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Injury could occur if
the tool tips, or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER OFF. Don't leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop. A child or visitor could be
injured.
21. TURN THE MACHINE "OFF", AND DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE before installing
or removing accessories, changing cutters, adjusting or
changing set-ups. When making repairs, be sure to lock
the start switch in the "OFF" position. An accidental start-
up can cause injury.
22. MAkE YOUR WORkSHOP CHILDPROOF WITH
PADLOCkS, MASTER SWITCHES, OR BY REMOVING
STARTER kEYS. The accidental start-up of a machine by
a child or visitor could cause injury.
23. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND
USE COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE
WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in injury.
24. USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE
AND DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE
SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS DUST. Direct particles
away from face and body. Always operate tool in well
ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use
dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to
the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory
or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease),
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the 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. Always use properly fitting
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
