Safety Warnings and Precautions

WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce 
the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.

Read all instructions before using this tool!

1. 

Keep work area clean.  Cluttered areas invite injuries.

Observe work area conditions.  Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet 

locations.  Don’t expose to rain.  Keep work area well lighted.  Do not use electrically 
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.

3. 

Keep children away.  Children must never be allowed in the work area.  Do not let 

them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.

4. 

Store idle equipment.  When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to 

inhibit rust.  Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

5. 

Do not force tool.  It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was 

intended.  Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool 
capacity.

6. 

Use the right tool for the job.  Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to 

do the work of a larger industrial tool.  Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was 
not intended.

7. 

Dress properly.  Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in 

moving parts.  Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear 
are recommended when working.  Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
