WARNING!

When using power tools, basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric 
shock, and personal injury. Always follow the safety instructions in this manual.

• 

Keep the work area clear of potentially dangerous materials that might cause a hazard.

• 

Consider the environment in which you are working. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. 

Keep the work area well lit. Do not expose power tools to rain and high humidity. Do not use power 

tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.

• 

Keep visitors away from the work area. All visitors and onlookers, especially children and infirm 

persons should be kept well away from where you are working. Do not let others in the vicinity make 

contact with the tool.

• 

Store tools safely. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high place or locked up out of 

reach.

• 

Do not force the tool. The tool will do the job better and operate more safely at the rate for which it 

was designed.

• 

Use the correct tool for the job. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job best handled by 

a heavier duty tool. Never use a tool for a purpose other than that for which it was intended.

•

gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors. If you have long hair, wear a
