GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFE-
TY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps have been read
and understood.
1. READ and become familiar with this entire instruction manual. LEARN the tool’s applications, limitations, and
possible hazards.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. Do not use tools in wet or damp areas or expose them to rain. Keep
work areas well lit.
3. DO NOT use tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
4. ALWAYS keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit. DO NOT work on floor surfaces that are slippery
with sawdust or wax.
5. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating.
NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL to do a job for which it was not designed.
7. DRESS FOR SAFETY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when operating the tool. Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. ALWAYS wear
non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.
8. SERVICING requires extreme care and knowledge of the tool. This should only be performed by a qualified
service technician. When servicing, use only identical WEN replacement parts.
9. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electrical outlet when making adjustments, changing parts,
cleaning, or working on the tool.
10. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE AND IN WORKING ORDER.
11. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in
the power cord.
12. REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from the tool before
turning it on.
13. NEVER LEAVE A RUNNING TOOL UNATTENDED. Turn the power switch to OFF. Do not leave the
tool until it has come to a complete stop.
14. NEVER STAND ON A TOOL. Serious injury could result if the tool tips or is accidentally hit. DO NOT store

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper
mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced before use.
18. MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Use padlocks and master switches and ALWAYS remove starter keys.
19. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect your
ability to properly use the tool.
20. USE SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES that comply with ANSI Z87.1. Normal safety glasses only have
impact resistant lenses and are not designed for safety. Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty environment. Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR AIR COMPRESSORS
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works. SAVE THESE SAFE-
TY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the following steps have been read
and understood.
1. Do not use your air compressor if the switch does not turn on and off. An air compressor that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
2. Disconnect the plug from the power source and drain all air from the tank before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing your air compressor. This reduces the risk of starting your air compressor accidentally.
3. Store your air compressor out of the reach of children and do not allow people unfamiliar with either the compressor or these instructions to operate it. An air compressor is dangerous in the hands of an untrained user.
4. Maintain your air compressor. Keep your air compressor clean for maximum performance. Follow the instruction for maintenance and changing accessories if necessary. Keep your air compressor dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
5. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect
your air compressor’s operation. If damaged, have your air compressor repaired by a qualified service technician
before using it again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained compressors.
6. Use your air compressor in accordance with these instructions, taking into account working conditions and the
task at hand. Use of the compressor for operations other than its intended use could result in personal injury.
7. Do not spray flammable liquids in a confined area or towards a hot surface. The spray area must be well-ventilated. Do not smoke while spraying. Do not spray when a spark or flame is present.
