GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
2.
DO NOT USE MIXER IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use mixer where
flammable liquids or gases are present.
3.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures, etc.
4.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.
5.
STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry and high or locked
place that is out of reach of children.
6.
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the performance level for which it
was designed.
7.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not force a small tool or accessory to do a job for
which it is not designed.
8.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or
other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip foot wear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering if you have long hair.
9.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask for commercial cutting
operations. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant lenses – they are NOT safety
glasses.
10. DO NOT ABUSE POWER CORD. Never carry tool by the cord or yank it to disconnect from the
power receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
11. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. They are safer than using
your hand and free both hands to operate tool.
12. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tools periodically
and if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect extension
cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
14. DISCONNECT TOOLS BEFORE SERVICING – when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, etc.
15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS & WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF position before
plugging in.
17. OUTDOOR USE OF EXTENSION CORDS. When using tool outdoors, utilize only extension cords
intended and marked for use outdoors.
