glasses, complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in
Canada CSA Z94-3-M88 ) sh o wn on p ackage. Everyday eyeglasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They are not
safety glasses. Safety Goggles are available at many loca l retail st ores. Glasses

break.
To avoid hearing damage, wear ear protectors when using any power tool for
extended hours, or when working in a
