wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to

14. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

19. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the
like.
20. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging
