•
Keep hands clear of all moving parts while in operation.

Make sure you have proper footing and balance at all times
while operating any power tool. Proper footing and balance
allows you to have better control of the tool in unexpected
hazardous situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection, a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hard hat when needed,
while operating your power tool. Doing so will greatly
reduce the risk of an unnecessary injury.

Allow the power tool accessories (bits, blades etc) to cool
before touching them. They can become extremely hot
during use and can burn your skin.
