9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Your extension cord must
also contain a ground wire and plug pin.
Always repair or replace extension cords if
they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair cover-
ing to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use
face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resis-
tant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work when practical. It’s safer than using your
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.

tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-

Consult the owner’s manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper

Safety Instructions For Power Tools
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-
AL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before recon-
necting.
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward
the operator if not handled properly. Know
what conditions can create “kickback” and
know how to avoid them.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running
a machine.
21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
INEXPERIENCED PERSONNEL TO
OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure
any instructions you give in regards to
machine operation are approved, correct,
safe, and clearly understood.
22. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-
ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine!
Then contact our service department or
ask a qualified expert how the operation
should be performed.
