SAFETY
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING
. Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it on and
off. Disconnect power when performing maintenance on the tool.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL
. Your tool will perform best at the rate for which it was designed.
Excessive force only causes operator fatigue, increased wear, increased risk of binding or sudden
breakage, and reduced control.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM ALL CUTTING EDGES, HOT COMPONENTS, AND MOVING
PARTS
.
DO NOT ABUSE THE CORDS
. Keep the cords away from heat, oil, sharp objects, cutting edges, and
moving parts.
DO NOT OVERREACH. MAINTAIN CONTROL
. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Maintain a firm grip.
STAY ALERT
. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense. Do not use a tool when you are
tired, distracted, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication causing decreased
control.
MAINTAIN TOOLS CAREFULLY
. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Keep
cutting components sharp and clean. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Periodically inspect tool cords for damage. Have damaged parts repaired or replaced.
MAINTAIN LABELS AND NAMEPLATES
. These carry important information. If unreadable or
missing, contact Safety Speed for a free replacement.
DO NOT REMOVE THE GUARDS OR OPERATE THE TOOL WITHOUT THE GUARDS IN
PLACE
.
SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING, GRINDING, DRILLING, AND
OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES CONTAINS CHEMICALS KNOWN TO CAUSE
CANCER, BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM. SOME EXAMPLES OF
THESE CHEMICALS ARE:
Lead from lead-based paint
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles. For more information go to
