• Know Your Elliott Tool. Read this manual carefully to learn your tool’s application and
limitations as well as the potential hazards specic to this tool.

• Keep Work Area Clean and Well Lit. Cluttered, dark work areas invite accidents.

• Dress Properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear a protective hair covering
to contain long hair. It is recommended that the operator wear safety glasses with
side shields or a full face shield eye protection. Gloves and water repellant, nonskid
footwear are also recommended. Keep hands and gloves away from moving parts.

• Use Safety Equipment. Everyone in the work area should wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields complying with current safety standards. Wear hearing
protection during extended use, respirator for a conned space and a dust mask for

dusty operations. Hard hats, face shields, safety shoes, respirators, etc. should be

used when specied or necessary. Keep a re extinguisher nearby.

• Keep Bystanders Away. Bystanders should be kept at a safe distance from the work

area to avoid distracting the operator and contacting the blade.

• Use The Right Tools. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job or operate at a
speed it was not designed for.

• Use Proper Accessories. Use Elliott accessories only. Be sure accessories are properly

installed and maintained.

• Check for Damaged Parts. Inspect guards and other parts before use. Check for
misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts or any other
conditions that may affect operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the
tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a
damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do Not Use” until repaired. A damaged part should
be properly repaired or replaced by an Elliott service facility. For all repairs, insist on
only identical replacement parts.

• Keep Hands Away from All Moving Parts.

• Do Not Overreach. Maintain Control. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Stay Alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense. DO NOT use a
tool when you are tired, distracted or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or any

medication causing decreased control.
