Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in or
attaching the battery.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or
powering tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.
A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be
sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of
the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the
tool can result in serious injury to the user – as well as damage to the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical way to support and secure the workpiece to
a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
The
correct tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which is
designed.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the tool from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
