Safety Guidelines

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
owner's manual carefully. Learn the tool's
applications and limitations, as well as its
particular hazards.
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and in
working order.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter is
used to accommodate a two-prong
receptacle, the adapter plug must be
attached to a known ground. Never
remove the grounding prong.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check
that keys and wrenches are removed
from the machine before turning it on.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
6. AVOID DANGEROUS
MENTS. Do not use power tools in damp
or wet locations or expose them to rain.
Keep your work area well lighted.

AWAY. All children and visitors should be
kept a safe distance away from your work
area.

removing starter keys.

ic guidelines for drilling operations.
