HM126 Operator’s Manual
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool.
Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools 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 often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
•
Use safety apparel and equipment.
Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust
mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-
skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when
appropriate.
•
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
•
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before connecting to the power supply or turning on
the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
•
Never make blade guide adjustments, remove or install blades, or conduct any other
maintenance or make any other adjustments while the engine is running.
Always shut
the engine off, remove the ignition key, and turn the engine off before carrying out any of the
aforementioned procedures. Consult your engine manual for safe shutdown procedures to
prevent accidental ignition.
