9.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES BEFORE STARTING
THE TOOL. Keys, wrenches, scrap, and other debris can be thrown at high
speed, possibly causing serious personal injury.
10. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a potentially
dangerous environment and visitors should not be allowed to contact any tools,
extension cords, or roam about unsupervised. All visitors should wear safety glasses
and be kept a safe distance from the work area.
11. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF by using padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys from tools.
12. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
13. DISCONNECT TOOLS WHEN NOT IN USE, before servicing, or when
changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc.
14. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Check to be
sure that the tool's switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in the power cord.
Should a power failure occur, move the switch to the "OFF" position. Accidental
start-ups can cause serious personal injury.
15. USE THE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Don't force the tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Don't use the tool for a
purpose not intended as damage to the machine and/or personal injury may result.
16. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Using accessories and
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer or intended for use on this type
tool, may cause damage to the machine or result in personal injury to the user.
Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories.
17. MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS THE PROPER SIZE AND
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 tool overheating.
Consult the Extension Cord Chart for the correct size based on the cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If ever in doubt, use the next heavier wire gauge cord.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
18. SECURE THE WORK-PIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work-piece
when practical. Using clamps or similar mechanical device is safer than using your
hand(s) and allows you to use both hands to operate the tool. Losing control of the
work-piece can cause personal injury.
19. DON'T OVERREACH. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times; loss of
balance can cause you to fall into the working machine, possibly causing an injury.
20. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. An injury may occur if the machine is tipped
or if you should unintentionally contact the cutting tool.
21. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. The tool will perform the job better and safer
at the feed rate for which it was designed. Forcing the tool could possibly damage
the machine and may result in personal injury.
22. FEED THE WORK-PIECE IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION AND SPEED.
Feed the work-piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the
direction of the cutting tool's direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the
