or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance
enables better control on the tool in
unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used
for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical
ways to secure and support the
work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work piece by hand or
against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tools. Use the
