If tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord

flammable liquids, or combustibles.

drugs, alcohol, or any medication.

moving parts. ALWAYS wear non-slip footwear. Tie back
long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
Avoid accidental starting
Make sure all switches are in "OFF" position before
plugging in.
