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.
