GENERAL SAFETY RULES
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting
the plug to a power source or carrying the tool.
2. Check power tool for damaged parts. Check for misalignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage,
improper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Do not use the
power tool if the switch does not turn ON/OFF. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced before use.
3. Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. Always use the correct tool/
accessory for the job and follow instructions to prevent a hazardous situation.
4. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped over or if parts of the tool
are unintentionally contacted.
5. Remove adjustment tools. Always make sure all adjustment tools or wrenches are removed from
the tool before turning on the power tool.
6. Keep guards in place and in working order before operating the tool. All protection and safety
devices must be in place after completing repair and maintenance procedures.
7. Never leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.
