electrical receptacles, and using padlocks.
10. DO NOT use electrical tools in the presence of
flammable liquids or gasses.
11. DO NOT FORCE the machine to perform an opera-
tion for which it was not designed. It will do a safer
and higher quality job by only performing operations
for which the machine was intended.
12. DO NOT stand on a machine. Serious injury could
result if it tips over or you accidentally contact any
moving part.
13. DO NOT store anything above or near the machine.
14. DO NOT operate any machine or tool if under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
15. EACH AND EVERY time, check for damaged parts
prior to using any machine. Carefully check all
guards to see that they operate properly, are not
damaged, and perform their intended functions.
Check for alignment, binding or breakage of all
moving parts. Any guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be immediately repaired or replaced.
16. Ground all machines. If any machine is supplied
with a 3-prong plug, it must be plugged into a
3-contact electrical receptacle. The third prong is
used to ground the tool and provide protection
against accidental electric shock. DO NOT remove
the third prong.
17. Keep visitors and children away from any machine.
DO NOT permit people to be in the immediate work
area, especially when the machine is operating.
18. KEEP protective guards in place and in working
order.
19. MAINTAIN your balance. DO NOT extend yourself
over the tool. Wear oil resistant rubber soled shoes.
Keep floor clear of debris, grease, and wax.
20. MAINTAIN all machines with care. ALWAYS KEEP
machine clean and in good working order. KEEP all
blades and tool bits sharp.
21. NEVER leave a machine running, unattended. Turn
the power switch to the OFF position. DO NOT
leave the machine until it has come to a complete
stop.
22. REMOVE ALL MAINTENANCE TOOLS from the
immediate area prior to turning the machine ON.
23. SECURE all work. When it is possible, use clamps
or jigs to secure the workpiece. This is safer than
attempting to hold the workpiece with your hands.
24. STAY ALERT, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating any machine. DO
NOT operate any machine tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
