GENERAL SAFETY RULES
You will become very familiar with I1 System. Do not let that familiarity
with the tool make you become careless and forget the safety rules. A
careless moment can easily inflict severe injury.
For your own safety, read this instruction manual entirely before
operating the I1 Pocket Hole Joinery System. Learning the I1 Pocket
Hole Joinery System’s application, limitations, and specific hazards will
greatly minimize the possibility of accidents and injury.
When operating a power tool, 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. Air
vents may cover moving parts and should also be avoided.
Do not use the I1 Pocket Hole Joinery System 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.
Before using the jig, check for proper settings, tightened knobs,
condition of the drill bit and secure setup.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from
work area. Your shop is a potentially dangerous environment.
Make workshops childproof with padlocks, master switches, or by
removing starter keys. The unauthorized start-up of a machine by a
child or visitor may result in injury.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting. Make sure that the switch on
your drill is in the “off” position before connecting to the power
sources. 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.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from spindle before
turning tool on. Tools, scrap pieces and other debris can be thrown at
high speed, causing injury.
