or poorIy lit locations. Don't expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Don't use tools in the
presence of flammable gases or liquids.

produce wood chips. Wear a clean dust mask due to fine or coarse dust. When operating for
extended periods of time, use approved ear protection. Face masks, dust masks, anti ear
protectors are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
9. DON'T ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Do not yank it to disconnect it from receptacle. Do not
move bench-mounted or floor-standing machines with the power cord in the outlet. Keep cord
