* 02. Ground all tools (use grounded 3-prong plug inserted into proper grounding type receptacle)
* 03. Keep guards in place (and in working order with proper adjustment and alignment)
* 04. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches (form habit to check they are removed from tool before turning on the machine)

* 14. Don't overreach (keep proper footing and balance at all times)
* 15. Maintain tools with care (keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance)
* 16. Disconnect tools (before servicing when changing accessories, belts, and disks)
* 17. Avoid accidental starting (make sure switch in in "OFF" position before plugging in)
* 18. Use recommended accessories (consult the manual for recommended accessories, follow instructions, improper accessories may cause hazards)
* 19. Never stand on tool (serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted)
* 20. Check damaged parts (a damaged guard should be checked for proper function, check alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, etc.)
