gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewellery
which may get caught in moving parts. Safety footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
10. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.
11. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work at
all times. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate tool.
12. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance

improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
17. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could
occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
be carefully checked to determine 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.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
