PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while 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 ANSI-approved 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.
• Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while a tool is being
used, turn the switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
• 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.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Do not force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they are designed.
Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
• Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
• Disconnect power from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before servicing, adjusting,
installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
• Secure work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
• Store idle tools. When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect tools for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.
