General Safety Rules

for Bench Top Tools

Work Area

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away

while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are danger-
ous in the hands of untrained users.

Do not leave tool running unattended, turn

power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with pad
lock, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.

Electrical Safety

Before plugging in the tool, be certain the

outlet voltage supplied is compatible with
the voltage marked on the nameplate within
10%.
An outlet voltage incompatible with that
specified on the nameplate can result in serious
hazards and damage to the tool.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-
erators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an

outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power
tool.
A moment of inattention or use of drugs,
alcohol or medication while operating power
tools can be dangerous.

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. Roll long sleeves
above elbows. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working out-
doors.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is

“OFF” before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch “ON” invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before

turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool will
be thrown.

Do not overreach, keep proper footing and

balance at all times. Proper footing and bal-
ance enables better control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.

Do not stand on tool or its stand. Serious

injury may occur if the tool is tipped or if the cut-
ting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store
materials on or near the tool such that it is nec-
essary to stand on the tool or its stand to reach
them.
