PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables you to better control the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
If devices are provided to connect to dust extraction and collection equipment,
ensure they are properly connected. Using these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it’s designed.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Disconnect the plug from power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misaligned or bound moving parts, broken parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If it’s damaged, have the tool serviced
before using it again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one type of tool may be dangerous when used for
another tool.
Use tools in good condition, adapted to the task to be performed. This do-it-yourself
equipment should be used as such and not be considered as heavy-duty equipment.
