SAFETY DEFINITIONS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract
your attention to possible dangers. The
safety symbols, and their explanations,
deserve your careful attention and
understanding. The safety warnings do not
by themselves eliminate any danger. The
instructions or warnings they give are not
substitutes for proper accident prevention
measures.
DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE indicates information considered
important, but not hazard-related (e.g.,
messages relating to property damage).

at least 50' (15.2 m) away.
–Wear heavy long pants, long sleeves,
boots, and gloves. Do not wear loose
fitting clothing, short pants, sandals,
jewellery of any kind, or go barefoot.
–To reduce the risk of injury associated
with objects being drawn into rotating
parts, do not wear loose clothing,

vessel damage in otherwise healthy
people. If symptoms occur such as
numbness, pain, loss of strength,
change in skin color or texture, or loss
of feeling in the fingers, hands or joints,
discontinue use of the tool and seek
medical attention. For such use, it may
be appropriate to use a product having
an anti-vibration feature.
