CLOSURE

Operating this equipment creates the poten-

operating equipment. Everyday glasses or
reading glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be cer-
tain the safety glasses you wear meet the
appropriate standards of the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).

As with all power tools, there is danger
associated with the Model W1676. Use the
tool with respect and caution to lessen the
possibility of mechanical damage or opera-
tor injury. If normal safety precautions are
overlooked or ignored, injury to the opera-
tor or others in the area is likely.
