WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of
workpiece control. Wear hard hat as needed.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
tools may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-
term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust haz-
ards associated with each workpiece material,
always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator, and
connect tool to an appropriate dust collection
device to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear-
ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Never leave
adjustment tools, chuck keys, wrenches, etc. in
or on tool—especially near moving parts. Verify
removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE. Only use tool for its intended
purpose. Never modify or alter tool for a purpose
not intended by the manufacturer or serious injury
or death may result!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating tool. Do
not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that
make tool control difficult or increase the risk of
accidental injury.
SAFE HANDLING. Firmly grip tool. To avoid
accidental firing, do not keep finger on switch or
trigger while carrying.
SECURING WORKPIECE. When required, use
clamps or vises to secure workpiece. A secured
workpiece protects hands and frees both of them
to operate the tool.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
FORCING TOOLS. Use the right tool for the job,
and do not force it. It will do the job safer and bet-
ter at the rate for which it was designed.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec-
ommended accessories. Using improper acces-
sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Keep cutting tool edges
sharp and clean. Follow all maintenance instruc-
tions and lubrication schedules to keep tool in
good working condition. A tool that is improperly
maintained could malfunction, leading to serious
personal injury or death. Only have tool serviced
by qualified service-personnel using matching
replacement parts.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
tool for any condition that may affect safe opera-
tion. Immediately repair or replace damaged or
mis-adjusted parts before operating tool.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect-
ing cord-connected tools from power, grab and
pull the plug—NOT the cord. Carrying or pulling
the cord may damage wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traf-
fic areas, harsh chemicals, sharp edges, moving
parts, and wet/damp locations. Damaged cords
increase risk of electrocution.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave tool
running while unattended. Turn tool off and ensure
all moving parts completely stop before walking
away.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend-
ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
