IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all
machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with
respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust masks and
hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor
judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in the workshop.
If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. Figure out an alternative procedure that feels safer. REMEMBER:
Your personal safety is your responsibility.
WARNING
: FAILURETO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY
1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE TOOL. Learn
the tool’s application and limitations as well as the
specific hazards peculiar to it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order
3. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
4. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If tool is equipped with
three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a
three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used
to accommodate a two-prong receptacle, the
adapter plug must be attached to a known ground.
Never remove the third prong.
5. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it “ON”.
6. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
7. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT.
Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or
expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All
children and visitors should be kept a safe distance
from work area.
9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF –with padlocks,
master switches, or by removing starter keys.
10. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and be
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
15. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
17. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters,
etc.
18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by
us may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.
19. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in “OFF” position
before plugging in power cord.
20. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
accidentally contacted.
21. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to ensure that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function –
check for alignment of moving parts, binding 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.
22. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or
cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or
cutter only.

11. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed.
12. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing,
gloves, neck-ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry to
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
13. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Wear safety
glasses. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
14. 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.
23. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
24. DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not operate
tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
any medication.
25. MAKES SURE TOOL IS DISCONNECTED FROM
POWER SUPPLY while motor is being mounted,
connected or reconnected.
26. WARNING: The dust generated by certain woods
and wood products can be injurious to your health.
Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas
and provide for proper dust removal. Use wood dust
collection systems whenever possible.
