SAFETY

READ MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING MACHINE.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WILL

RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

Standard Safety Instructions

1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY. Machinery presents serious

injury hazards to untrained users.

2. ALWAYS USE ANSI APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Everyday eye-

glasses only have impact resistant lenses—they are NOT safety glasses.

3. ALWAYS WEAR A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY THAT PRODUCES

DUST. Wood dust is a carcinogen and can cause cancer and severe respiratory illnesses.

4. ALWAYS USE HEARING PROTECTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINERY. Machinery noise can cause

permanent hearing damage.

5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, or jewelry which may

get caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair and wear non-slip

footwear.

6. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ALCOHOL.

Be mentally alert at all times when running machinery.

7. ONLY ALLOW TRAINED AND PROPERLY SUPERVISED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE MACHINERY. Make

sure operation instructions are safe and clearly understood.

8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Keep all children and visitors a safe distance from the work

area.

9. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF. Use padlocks, master switches, and remove start switch keys.
