WARNING

 

PERSONAL SAFETY 

 

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not 
use the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment 
of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury. 

 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing 
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving 
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided. 

 

Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant 
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust 
mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection 
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.  

 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

 

Ensure the power switch is off prior to plugging in the tool. 

 

Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution 
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.  

 

CAUTION

the tool itself.
