KEEP CHILDREN and VISITORS AWAY
All people should be kept away from work areas unless they have a direct role in the work being performed.

KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN
Work clean to avoid accidents and improve efficiency.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD-PROOF
With locks, master switches, gates, etc.

DO NOT WORK IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS
Avoid damp or wet locations. Work only when well lit. Do not work in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

KNOW YOUR TOOLS
Understand the owner's manual and labels affixed to all your tools. Learn tools applications and limitations as well as any hazards associated with the tools.

STAY WITHIN YOURSELF
Maintain proper footing and balance at all times.

BEWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS AND YOUR STATE
Watch what you are doing and especially know what is going on around you. Don't be stupid or brave. Do not operate tools when you are tired or under the influence of any mind altering substance or situation.

DRESS FOR WORK
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry - they can be caught in moving parts or worse, come in contact with energized and exposed electrical conductors. Protective gloves and footwear are useful to protect hands and feet. Long hair should be contained.

USE HEARING AND EYE PROTECTION
Use a respirator or dust mask if the area is dusty.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Stay insulated from earth ground - don't lean on or grab bare metal and never work barefoot.

PREVENT ACCIDENTAL START-UPS
When not in use or especially when changing blades, ensure that there is no way tools can start unintentionally - pull plug, kill breaker, etc.

USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Keep all safety equipment, guards, anti-kickback palls, etc. in place and in proper working condition. Use push-sticks and feather boards.

REMOVE TOOLS, BLADES, BITS FROM WORKING AREA
When not in immediate use, remove all extraneous objects from your work area.

AVOID CAUSING INSTABILITY
Serious injury will likely occur if the tool is not stable or people have to reach over it while running or power is available to the tool. Even a de-energized power tool can cause serious injury.

INSPECT AND REPAIR DAMAGED PARTS PRIOR TO USAGE
Always inspect your tools for proper maintenance prior to use. Do not use them until fixed properly if any problems are detected.

DON'T FORCE TOOLS
You will get better results and your tools will last longer and work more efficiently if you don't force them. If you feel like you have to force the tool, it is probably the wrong tool or the right tool with the wrong blade or bit.

WORK PIECES NEED TO BE SECURE AT ALL TIMES
Clamp your work or use a vise. Don't try to be a contortionist or do something that takes more hands than you have available.

WORK NEEDS TO BE PROPERLY SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES
Use proper supporting devices so work pieces and off-cuts don't fall unexpectedly. Falling pieces can easily grab rotating machinery and get thrown. Falling pieces can also cause serious injury to feet and legs or cause the operator to make sudden, catastrophic movements.

ALWAYS USE PROPER CARE AROUND SMALL PIECES
Use proper supporting devices so work pieces and off-cuts don't fall unexpectedly. Falling pieces can easily grab rotating machinery and get thrown. Falling pieces can also cause serious injury to feet and legs or cause the operator to make sudden, catastrophic movements.

FEED WORK CORRECTLY
Always feed work against the direction of rotation of the blade and avoid "climb cuts" with routers.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED
Always turn the power off and don't leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
