Safety Instructions for Metalworking Tools
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use properly secured
clamps or vises to hold work while per-
forming the machining operation
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS AND MACHINERY
WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner's manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. On machines with magnetic
contact starting switches there is a risk of
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.
Always disconnect from power source before
adjusting or servicing. Make sure switch is in
OFF position before reconnecting.
17. 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.
18. NEVER
LEAVE
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO
NOT leave machine until it comes to a com-
plete stop.
19. SOME
COOLANTS/LUBRICANTS
USED FOR MACHINING MAY CONTAIN
HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS. Read and
understand all user information on the cool-
ant container and protect yourself accord-
ingly.
20. NEVER OPERATE WHEN TIRED, OR
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR
ALCOHOL. Full mental alertness is required
at all times when using metalworking equip-
ment.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.
