15.

Do not overreach.  Keep proper footing and balance at all times.  Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

16.

Use safety equipment.  Always wear eye protection.  Dust mask, nonskid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

17.

  WARNING!  Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  Some examples of these
chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement
or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work.  To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles. 

(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5,

et seq.)

  WARNING!  People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before

using this product.  Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart
pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

Tool Use and Care

19.

Use clamps  or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
  Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.

20.

Do not force the tool.  Use the correct tool for your application.  The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

21.

Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.  Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

22.

Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.  
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

23.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.  Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

24.

Maintain tools with care.  Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.  Properly
maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.  Do not use a damaged tool.  Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

25.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. 
 If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using.  Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

26.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model.  
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
