4. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
5. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. The

standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and
breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in
the work area.
Power Tool Use and Care
1. Do not force 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.
2. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce risk of starting
the tool accidentally.

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.

any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
