3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area.
Don’t let them handle machines, tools or extensions cords.
4. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust.
Equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of reach
of children.
5. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate
for which it was intended.
6. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the work
of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it was not
intended.
7. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry, they can be caught
in moving parts. Protective, non-electrically conductive gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair and keep yourself from harm.
8. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full face mask if the work you’re doing
produces metal filings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other
situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of fine or
coarse dust.
9. DO NOT TOUCH BITS OR BLADES WITH HANDS AFTER USE. They can
become extremely hot after job is completed.

should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and other conditions that may
affect its operation. Check bits and blades to make sure they are sharp and
not chipped. Inspect screws and tighten any ones that are loose. Any part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the instruction manual. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Don’t use the tool if switch does not turn on and off properly.
17. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When
drilling or cutting into walls, floors, or wherever “live” electrical wires may be
encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock. Even so, DO
NOT TOUCH THE CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL.
Hold the tool only by the plastic handle or the side grip to prevent electric shock
if you hit a live wire.
