3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
4. Do not expose tool to moisture. Don’t use this machinery in damp or wet
locations. Keep out of rain.
5. Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
6. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or
key that is left attached to a moving part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
7. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark work areas invite
accidents.
8. Keep children away. All children should be kept away from the work area.
Never let a child handle a tool without strict adult supervision.
9. Do not operate this tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read
warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes
are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not attempt to
operate.
10. Use safety equipment. Eye protection should be worn at all times when
operating this machine. Use ANSI approved safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection should be
used in appropriate conditions.
11. Wear proper apparel. Loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry may present a potential hazard when operating this machine.
Please keep all apparel clear of the machine.
12. Don’t overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when
operating this product.
13. Always disconnect the machine before making any adjustments, storing,
servicing, or changing accessories. Such preventative safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
14. Use clamps or other practical means to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body may
lead to a loss of control.
15. 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 was designed.
16. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
17. Check for damage. Check your tool regularly. If part of the tool is damaged
it should be carefully inspected to make sure that it can perform its
intended function correctly. If in doubt, the part should be repaired. Refer
all servicing to a qualified technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
18. Keep away from flammables. Do not attempt to operate this tool near
flammable materials or combustibles. Failure to comply may cause serious
injury or death.
19. Do not start tool while tool is in contact with work materials. Always turn
tool on BEFORE coming in contact with material surface.
20. Do not set tool down until it has come to a complete stop.
21. Always check to make sure that trigger is not engaged before plugging
tool in. Tool may cause damage to property or person if plugged in
while on.
22. Keep hands clear of blades.
23. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and untrained persons. Tools
may be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
24. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
25. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
live wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and could shock
the operator.
