Remove any adjusting key or wrench

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use
of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
h.

approved by an appropriate 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
a.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
b.
Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving 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.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5.
Service

Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.

all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
3.

abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory
and run power tool at maximum no-load
speed for one minute.
