GENERAL OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment. Don't expose power tools to rain. Don't use
power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don't use tool in
presence of fl ammable liquids or gases.
Power tools produce sparks during operation. They also spark when switching
ON/OFF. Never use power tools in dangerous sites containing lacquer, paint,
benzine, thinner, gasoline, gases, adhesive agents, and other materials which are
combustible or explosive.
3. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For
example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
4. Keep children away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors
should be kept away from work area.
5. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry and high or locked-
up place-out of reach of children.
6. Don't force tool. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
7. Use right tool. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job a heavy-duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended-for example - don't use circular saw for
cutting tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use eye protection. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
10. Don't abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
11. Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand
and it frees both hands to operate tool.
