WARNING: For your own safety, read
all of the instructions and precautions
before operating tool.
CAUTION: Always follow proper operat-
ing procedures as defined in this manual
even if you are familiar with use of this or
similar tools. Remember that being care-
less for even a fraction of a second can
result in severe personal injury.
BE PREPARED FOR JOB
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving
parts of machine.
° Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
° Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.
° Wear safety glasses complying with
United States ANSI Z87.1. Everyday
glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
Wear face mask or dust mask if
operation is dusty.
Be alert and think clearly. Never
operate power tools when tired,
intoxicated or when taking medica-
tions that cause drowsiness.
PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB
° Keep work area clean. Cluttered
work areas invite accidents.
° Work area should be properly lighted.
° Keep visitors at a safe distance from
work area.
° Keep children out of workplace.
Make workshop childproof. Use pad-
locks, master switches or remove
switch keys to prevent any uninten-
tional use of power tools.

KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL
• Use right tool for job. Do not force
tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
• Do not force tool. It wilt work most
efficiently at the rate for which it was
designed.
• Keep hands away from moving parts
and cutting surfaces.
• Know your toot. Learn the tool's
operation, application and specific
limitations.
• Use of improper accessories may
cause risk of injury to persons.
• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect
hands from possible injury.
• Turn machine off if it jams. Chisel or
bit jams when it digs too deeply into
workpiece. (Motor force keeps it
stuck in the work.)
CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a
combination of operator common sense
and alertness at all times when tool is
being used.

verts most drill presses into an accurate

MORTISING
CAUTION: Know the accessory and
the power tool. Read and understand all
owner's manuals and other instructions
provided.
° Raise the chisel frequently during
operation to allow free discharge of
chips and prevent clogging the bit.
• To ensure a clean joint, each suc-
cessive cut should overlap the previ-
ous cut endwise approximately W'.
When cutting harder woods,
increase the overlap.
° Mortise cuts, wider than the chisel,
may be made by overlapping laterally.
° It is recommended that a fence or
guide by used to insure straight, uni-
form edges along the finished cut.
