General Safety Warnings

KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications, work

capabilities, and its specific potential hazards.

ALWAYS GROUND ALL TOOLS.

If your tool is equipped with a three-pronged plug, you must plug it into a three-hole electric

adapter plug to a known ground. Never remove the third prong of the plug.

ALWAYS AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS.

Never use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep your work area well lighted and clear of clutter.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES FROM TOOLS AFTER USE.

Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning it on.

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

ALWAYS KEEP VISITORS AWAY FROM RUNNING MACHINES.

All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.

Childproof with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

NEVER OPERATE A TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS,

Before initial or continual use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be checked to
assure that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other damaged parts should immediately be properly repaired or replaced.
