General Safety Rules - Delta 50-720 Manuel D'utilisation

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ THE INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. Learning
the machine's application, limitations, and specific hazards
will greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.
2. WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION. ALWAYS
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1
standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI
S3.19 standards.
3. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Nonslip protective footwear is
recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair.
4. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE IN A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT. The use of power tools in damp or wet
locations or in rain can cause shock or electrocution. Keep
your work area well-lit to prevent tripping or placing arms,
hands, and fingers in danger.
5. MAINTAIN ALL TOOLS AND MACHINES IN PEAK
CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Poorly maintained tools and machines can further
damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.
6. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the machine,
check for any damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or any
other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced with Delta or factory authorized replacement
parts. Damaged parts can cause further damage to the
machine and/or injury.
7. KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
8. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. Your shop is a
potentially dangerous environment. Children and visitors can be
injured.
9. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make
sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging
in the power cord. In the event of a power failure, move the
switch to the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause
injury. Do not touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging
or plugging in the cord.
10. USE THE GUARDS. Check to see that all guards are in place,
secured, and working correctly to prevent injury.
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES BEFORE
STARTING THE MACHINE. Tools, scrap pieces, and other
debris can be thrown at high speed, causing injury.
12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don't force a machine or an
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Damage
to the machine and/or injury may result.
13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by Delta
may cause damage to the machine or injury to the user.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
14. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. See
the Extension Cord Chart for the correct size depending on
the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the
workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a workpiece can
cause injury.
16. FEED THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF
THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE, CUTTER, OR ABRASIVE
SURFACE. Feeding it from the other direction will cause the
workpiece to be thrown out at high speed.
17. DON'T FORCE THE WORKPIECE ON THE MACHINE.
Damage to the machine and/or injury may result.
18. DON'T OVERREACH. Loss of balance can make you fall into
a working machine, causing injury.
19. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Injury could occur if the tool
tips, or if you accidentally contact the cutting tool.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN THE POWER OFF. Don't leave the machine until it comes
to a complete stop. A child or visitor could be injured.
21. TURN THE MACHINE "OFF", AND DISCONNECT THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE before installing or
removing accessories, changing cutters, adjusting or changing
set-ups. When making repairs, be sure to lock the start switch
in the "OFF" position. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
22. MAKE YOUR WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF WITH
PADLOCKS, MASTER SWITCHES, OR BY REMOVING
STARTER KEYS. The accidental start-up of a machine by a
child or visitor could cause injury.
23. STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE
COMMON SENSE. DO NOT USE THE MACHINE WHEN
YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,
ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in injury.
24. USE OF THIS TOOL CAN GENERATE AND
DISBURSE DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES,
INCLUDING WOOD DUST, CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
AND ASBESTOS DUST. Direct particles away from face
and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system
wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious
and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a
serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the
dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to
get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote
absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and
water.
