2. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards, hearing
equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards, and dust mask protection should comply with MSHA/NIOSH
certified respirator standards. Splinters, air-borne debris, and dust can cause irritation, injury, and/or illness.
3. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear tie, gloves, or loose clothing. Remove watch, rings, and other jewelry. Roll up your
sleeves. Clothing or jewelry caught in moving parts can cause injury.
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. 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

injury.
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 Black & Decker
may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user.
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
