tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equip-b.
ment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
Do not overreach. Keep proper c.
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear d.
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
Only use safety equipment that e.
has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unap-
proved safety equipment may not
provide adequate protection. Eye
protection must be ANSI-approved
and breathing protection must be
NIOSH-approved for the specic
hazards in the work area.
Tool use and care3.
Do not force the tool. Use the a.
correct tool for your application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
Store idle tools out of the reach b.
of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to
operate it. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools. Check for mis-c.
alignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools.
