PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often
cover moving parts and should be avoided.
•
Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which comply
with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions. This
applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while a tool is being used,
turn the switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the tool. A wrench
or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
