SAFETY WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

WARNING: When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and personal injury.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL

1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

2. CONSIDER WORK AREA CONDITIONS. Don't use in damp, wet, or poorly lit locations. Don't expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.

3. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area. Don't let them handle machine.

4. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools should be locked up in a dry location to inhibit rust. If possible, store in an area out of reach of children.

5. DO NOT FORCE THE MACHINE OR 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 gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery.

8. USE EYE AND EAR PROTECTION. Use a full face mask if the work you are

doing produces metal lings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work creates a lot of ne or coarse

dust. When operating for extended periods of time, use approved ear protection. Safety goggles and ear protectors are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

9. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work if possible. It's safer than using your hands and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
